Time to rotate Tony Parish in for Roy Willimas

[AMERICAS_FAN]

Whenever the Saints needed a quick TD, or needed to convert a long yardage situation, they would often play the ball straight in Roy Williams' direction with a run or a pass. Last week I started a thread saying that we could not afford to have two bad games in a row by R. Williams or we would be in danger of losing to the Saints. I got chastised here for posting this; yet I stand by my words.

Against hte Ginats, R.Willimans couldn't cover or tackle well, and he was too slow getting to the ballcarrier. His poor performance was continued against the Saints (ala 2 bad back-2-back games, and viola, we lost to the Saints, as we almost lost to the Giants).

If you ask me, R.Willimans is our achiles heel on defense. If I'm Parcells, I mught be thinking of only playing R.Williams on running downs in the box, and bringing in Tony Parish on all other downs. The knock on Parish is that he may have lost a step in speed, but the guy was always a sure tackler and good in coverage. I'll take that over his losing a step of speed because R.Willimans is playing too slow as it is. And in that case I'd rather have Parish so I can at least stop worrying if the strong safety will make the tackle or cover the right route. JMHO.

We need to play man to man instead of zone. That will take pressure off the safeties.

Watkins or Parrish needs to start if I ever see Davis out there again I am going to cry.

bench the guy with the most take aways on our team cause he had a bad game and a dodgy one before that? What the hell is up with the roy hate on this board? He is one of our best and a cover boy for our team, until romo came around roy was all we had that people knew about...

We don't need to bench Williams, Davis yes.

We don't need to bench Williams, Davis yes.

I couldnt agree more with that logic, I wish we woulda let the saints sign him away from us in the offseason. He picks the worst angles I have ever seen from a pro

I think in dime situations we should put Roy at the LB spot and have Watkins and Parrish at the Safetys. It put's Roy in a postion to make plays at the LOS.

My vote is for Davis. Roy is handicapped out there in coverage. He needs to play closer to the line, plain and simple. He is playing too far from the line of scrimmage to make an impact. Roy brings intangibles to the game.

Davis on the other hand doesn't bring anything to the table. He is slow and cannot anticipate routes, he is like a jr Roy, he can hit people, thats about it.....

Roy bashers predicted earlier in the season that Roy would again cost Dallas in crunch time.
Has he made big, positive plays? Yes.
Has he made big, negative plays? Yes.
It almost seems like he loses his concentration every few games and just isn't ready to play.
He will usually make some nice tackles even when he is getting beat in the passing game. Last 2 games he seemed to be out of position on running plays and forced into attempting arm tackles.
