Roy Williams

I didnt get a chance to see the game, how did he do?

He was putting some hard hits down. he was beat for about 15 yards on a play but Schaub threw too high and the TE couldn't hang on.

Showed some aggression out there tonight, but also suffered an embarrassing stiff arm from a 190lb RB. He got beat in coverage twice by my count, but was close on coverage a couple times too.

He looked good against the run....pretty much what you'd expect.

Roy brought the pain out there tonight, I think he's coming back to his earlier days.

 

[Real1st]

Roy looks like he did earlier in his career he seems to be flying around looking for someone to destroy

 

[dbair1967]

considering the overall mediocrity of the rest of the defense, RW wasnt bad

David

Played the run pretty good for the first time in a while (this preseason he's done that well) but he's still about what you'd expect when he does get caught in coverage.

I'd give him a B-. The stiff arm from slaton WAS humiliating. He'll hear about that in the film room. Terrible technique again from Roy on a tackle. Nothing new there............

that stiff arm said it all...

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Yeah that stiff arm did hurt his manhood somewhat...

 

[DaBoys4Life]

the stiff arm was bad but it wasn't that bad i mean they aren't blowing it up on SC

 

[KingintheNorth]

I thought Roy played well. I especially enjoyed seeing him on the sideline on a 3rd and long play.


Seriously, with all of the secondary depth we suddenly have with TNew, Henry, Pacman, Jenkins, Hamlin, Watkins, Scandrick, and potentially Alan Ball, we can let Roy wreak havoc on run downs and special teams. Then on obvious passing downs he can hang out with Dave Campo.

I take it neither of you have ever received a stiff arm in football.

Other than that he was invisible. Guy is no longer a play maker. Cue the happy go lucky posters that speak of preseason and its lack of meaning.

Actually I played d-line.

Actually I played d-line.

Then you should know better.

:laugh2: It just looked bad for him to get stiff armed by a running back who's not known to be physical...

It looks bad to get stiff armed by anyone. You should know a stiff arm is an equalizer. In fact for someone like Walter Payton it was an advantage. Barber uses it to his advantage. It doesn't matter who the defender is, if the ball carrier gets the stiff arm in there right it will be effective. If you're trying to tell me a stiff arm can be prevented then I want to see you do it. Saying that the stiff arm defines Roy Williams is foolish. You want to look foolish keep on saying it, but by all means bet me some money on the effectiveness of a stiff arm. Put up or shut up.

Completely agree. Strenth almost doesn't even matter when you have that arm locked, bone is bone. The smallest guy can easily take down the biggest with a good stiff arm.

No, but don't need to be at the end of a stiff arm to see that Roy just isn't Roy anymore.... Earlier in his career, that guy wouldn't have tried to stiff arm Roy, he would have run out of bounds to avoid a hit. Roy's got a big bullseye painted on him now'days...
