Jerry Jones said Roy Williams suffered a spiral fracture in his forearm and will miss about four weeks. That means Pat Watkins, who was playing in the nickel and dime packages, will start at strong safety for the next month.

Now that is a shock, I could see him start at FS and let hamlin play his natural position of SS but to put Watkins who's a bean pole play SS is a joke.

A fracture IS a break. I've explained this many times on this board. Don't feel like doing it again though.


I have no idea why people think fractures are breaks, but they are. There's different severities of a "Fracture" but whether it's minor or broken clean in half, it's still a fracture.

Spiral fracture is interesting - usually a twisting type of mechanism. The upside of this is it is a reasonably stable fracture type so hopefully that means a quick recovery.

Roy got beat by one of the fastest wide receivers in the game .....

No Strong Safety in the league could keep up with DeSean Jackson on that rout.

Anyone who thinks they could is simply football ********.

does that mean we move Hamilin to SS and moving Henry to FS?

Could be a good move.....
They worked on it during TC

CB-Newman
SS-Hamlin
FS-Henry
CB-Jones
CB-Jenkins
(CB-Scandrick)

That doesn't leave much for depth, but it's workable.

hehe...my 1,000th's post...I love me so me

okay. I believe you. I am only relaying what I heard. They stressed it was fractured and not broken.

I am not a doctor.

People will argue everything and anything.

I can't believe so many Cowboys fans are this dense! Guys, Wade said that wasn't Roy...emphatically. It's about as close as I've ever heard him come to hanging someone out to dry, but it wasn't Roy.

I hope Roy gets back soon, and I hope a lot of fans pull their heads out.

That can't be right. I'm sure it'll be Hamlin at SS and Watkins at FS.

I can live with that.

Larry Brown said this about it.

"Its a blessing in disguise, Its time for roy to be off the field"

so that should be interesting.

not sure Larry Brown should be dissing any DB, other than having O'Donnell throw two INTs to him and get him a nice FA contract, what did he ever do other than be Jerry Rice's woman in the 1994 NFC Championship game?

Wasn't Roy who got beat, according to Wade (emphatically).

Wasn't arguing. Was jsut trying to educate you on the matter.


People think it's only a "Break" if it's "broken" in half, and a fracture if it's "only cracked" but both are actually fractures.

I remember when I broke my hand (the first time) the doc told me I had a fractured soemthing (one of the bones in my hand, whatever it's called) and I was like "Oh cool, at least it's no broken". But he then explained to me that a fracture is a break, that people just don't understand that most of the time. My bone was broken clean in half too.

The haters WILL completely block that out of their simple little minds. I guarantee it.
