Taylor Mays reminds me too much of Roy Williams.

[Beefullo]

A hard hitting safety that's "one biscuit short of a linebacker" and has his lack of big plays in coverage written off because of his amazing (college) run support.

I wouldn't mind adding him....but there's no way I would take him in the first round.

(Note: Roy Williams played well his first two seasons because he had a coverage safety by the name of Darren Woodson to complement him. Gerald Sensabaugh is no Roy Williams)

 

[7footer]

You're not alone...

He reminds pretty much every Cowboy fan of Roy. All the more reason I doubt we would ever draft him.

 

[speedkilz88]

Roy was actually a pretty good coverage guy in college and made a lot of plays for Oklahoma and his early years with the Cowboys.

The size thing is about the only comparison that you could make.

And completely stiff hips......

 

[Chocolate Lab]

He's a lot better athlete than Roy ever was.

He reminds me of Laron Landry.

 

[casmith07]

Except that Taylor Mays' physique looks like he hasn't been eating any biscuits at all.

Terrific. Where do I not sign up

Terrific. Where do I not sign up

lol, I was thinking the same thing

 

[dcfanatic]

Let me drop some science here.

Taylor Mays is a faster Darren Woodson.

But he has no instincts. No feel for the game.

Woody had all world football instincts.

Now what sucka?

He doesnt remind me ANY of Roy Williams, not even remotely. RW made a ton of plays at OU and here in Dallas. Mays never makes any plays. Mays is also nowhere near the hitter Roy was.

Better athlete yeah, better football player, no. Not even close.

Mays is a physical freak. Workout warrior, 4.3 kinda guy.

Roy was slow, soft, and had bad hips.

Only thing they have in common, they have bad instincts and will make a few highlight reel plays but will never be complete players.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Correct statement... Dallas needs to stay far away from him as possible.

NFLDS compares him to Sean Taylor.

Just let that sink in people.

Sean Taylor played the ball much better....

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Sean Taylor played the ball much better....

You guys act like you can't teach players to do that.

He doesn't have the hips, the feet, or ball playing skills to play in an NFL secondary. If he turns into anything but a JAG in an NFL secondary i'll eat crow all day long.

It will be waiting for you.

You may be right about the hips because he is a thick-set athlete, but footwork and ball-playing skills can be easily taught.
