If you were GM or coach, every single rookie had better play like stars or they're cut.
Almost every single starter, Canty Fergy Spears Singleton Ellis Carpenter Ayodele Ware Newman Henry Williams Glenn Owens Witten Hoyte Jones/Barber Adams Kosier Gurode Columbo Romo McBriar and Grammatica, all played better at their relative positions than did Watkins.
Basically the starters he played on par with were Rivera Davis James and Vanderjagt. As IR outlined very well is that he is often in postion where he could make a play yet he does not.
Now perhaps he can snap out of this but if all of you are wrong and he plays more like a fifth rounder than a second rounder the WFC seems to think that he is then you have hamstrung our defense.
One thing that people were always complaining about last year was that Williams was getting caught in deep coverage and burned but has it occured to anyone that the reason why Williams was deep was because the FS lined up next to him couldnt handle the job?
Im sure safety man coverage would have been an absolute nightmare.
WE NEED A FS THAT CAN HANDLE THE DEEP ZONE. If we dont have that then all of this talk of Williams playing in the box to his strengths goes by the wayside and we get more of both of our safteies staring up at a NFC East receiver catching a 30+ yard pass a few times every game.
If we get marginal talent to compete with Watkins and Watkins continues to play like marginal talent like he did last year then were absolutely toasted.
I dont know about you guys but for the last few years I am sick and tired of hearing how the Cowboys are going to give Dixon or Davis or some other scrub a chance to develop and year after year watch Williams ahve to be played away from his strengths because some scrub couldnt hack it.
