Sorry, I thought you were talking about the other Steve Smith (for the Panthers) in the playoffs a few years ago.
It's his fault when it's his fault. It's not his fault when it's not his fault.
I know, it's a bizarre concept, blaming the people who are actually at fault. But that's just the way I am. If there are five players more worthy of blame on a play, I don't heap all of the blame on the sixth guy, like some people do. Funny how Roy ends up getting the majority of the blame whether he's the first, second, third, fourth, fifth or even sixth guy most responsible. Or even when he's nowhere close to being at fault, in some cases.
AdamTJ13,
The fans get upset, because Roy likes to point fingers at his teammates, and he is perceived not to be a hard worker in his off the field prepartion. In coverage, he constantly makes the same mistakes that DC Fanatic pointed out. According to Mosely, who has Cowboys connections, Williams called out some of his teammates on a local Dallas t.v. station.
In 2006, he showed Watkins up on the field after Watkins was beat on a play for a TD. Roy is the last person who should do this. His play has been terrible in Decemember and January during the last two years. Dropped picks, hoarse-collars, poor ball tracking against the run and pass, getting beat in coverage at critical times (about 16 of Seattle's 21 points came at Williams' expense in the playoff game.)
The two plays to Stevens were on Williams. Bradie James was too heavy under Parcells, so he couldn't get close to running with Stevens, but Williams is the last line of defense behind Bradie. He should be able to prevent Stevens from getting behind him in a playoff game. He is already deep on his part of the field and has Stevens right in front of him, just like Moss. Yet, he doesn't have the instincts or discipline to make the play. I thought safeties should be able to keep tightends in front of them when they are playing deep. If he can't cover the TE on a seam route, he can't play saftey in the NFL. Yet, you say that Roy isn't to blame when Stevens scores right over the top of him and drags him in the endzone. I don't get it.
