roy williams

I am watching the highlights, and during th fumble pick up by the defense...I saw #31 run way upfield for a good block. he didn't just run up field...but he actually helped get a few more yards. That's leadership and doing what it takes to win.

I think he's really trying to be more of a team player, because he knows they need his help all over the field.

Wouldn't be so quick to predict his demise.

yea, he did do good on that return.

Roy misses a tackle, so he must have personal problems.

Sigh...

 

[jimmy40]

i know the horsecollar rule got him messed up.........

.

It's not like he stopped using it. Hell, I've seen more horse collar tackles this year than last. Lol. He's going after people's knees this year for some reason though.

 

[NickZepp]

He also stopped Donte Hall or he may have broken free for a TD instead of having Tynes go for a tying FG(which we all know the result of that)

He's having a very good year. I don't know what people expect of him.

I agree Sarge, though I wonder if he has a slight injury or something...seems he's been going at guys ankles more than usual. I'm used to him going for the legs of big running backs when they're coming head on, but that miss on Gonzales really angered me...Gonzales was stopped dead to catch the ball...he has no speed anymore and looked like a lumbering lineman on that 39 yard run, Roy was straight up on Gonzales who was standing still, why do a belly slide and go for the ankles?? Even if his shoulder's sore and he didn't want to drill him, why not face up and wrap him up? I don't mind a missed tackle, but that was a really weird one.

He did the same thing against Johnson.

Two things ticked me off about him today.


First he lagged out big time on that TD pass by not helping Newman on the deep ball and second that miss tackle on Gonzo. I love how he makes big plays and he's a leader on D but sometimes the safe tackle is better than teh big hit.

 

[NickZepp]

Roy Williams is usually about the safe tackle. He always has been. Against Gonzalez he tried to hit him low because if you hit him high he'll just bounce off you and get more yards. Roy did the smart thing by going low he just went a bit too low.

 

[MapleLeaf]

He's a solid player...but he's not the playmaker he was when he was a rookie...he doesn't have Woodson back there any more...and I think that forces him to play with a little less abandon.

...excellent read. Roy has now had another deep pass on the Kennison TD that he forgot to cover.

He was sucked in by Parker to shade towards the middle when Davis was already moving over top of the middle receiver.

Newman chucked Kennison and released him to cover the short man. Kennison was on Roy's side of the field. It looked very similar to Moss' TD in the Washington game.

We have to fix that soon.

 

[StevenOtero]

Yup, he was the head hunter , now LOOK OUT FOR THE TOE HUNTER! Nah give him credit, *cough* MNF @ Philly *cough*

Please...Gonzales has no speed left...he's almost 90 years old...he was stopped dead in his tracks with no momentum just to catch the ball...if Roy bounces off him and lets him get more yardage, then we've got a news story.

 

[big dog cowboy]

roy is a strong safety.............next year we will have justin as our free safety

I don't see that at all. Berry-O is a SS not a FS.
