No thanks

This thread will go over as well as a fart in church. Pardon the pun.

Re: Roy Williams?
 

I'd rather have Roy Williams play against us so Moss can keep beating him.

Re: Roy Williams?
 

He could be a nice special teamer...but not in a million years do I want him back there covering Witten or DeSean Jackson...

Re: Roy Williams?
 

And Thats the reason why they don't let green peas like us start threads.

You all may not have noticed this, but a month ago Matty added a tremendous feature geared for the lazy ass in all of us when starting a new thread. You simply enter in the title of your thread "Roy Williams" for example and then right next to it you click on "check if already posted" and it will show you similar threads to see if the topic has already been posted. Great tool...thanks Matty!

If he isn't signed in another month or so we may have a [B]threepeat[/B] on this subject. :nono:

Re: Roy Williams?
 

Williams was a good SS at the time he was drafted, because he fit the mold at that time. The division and the league was pretty much smash mouth, run the ball down the defenses throats. In fact if you look at the stats of his first few years in the league, you will see that if you combine the total receiving yards of all the TE's in the NFC East, then compare it to 2007-2008. Jason Witten and Chris Cooley each individually attained more recieving yards in one season than all the TE's in the NFC East COMBINED in Roys rookie and sophomore season.

So the East was primarily a running division, and a big gap type safety was perfect at that time. Not any more though. New rules came along that encouraged the vertical passing game, and RW's "Achilles heel" was revealed.

And yeah he can stop the run, but he was successful when he played safety close to the line. In other words, he had 3 other TRUE linebackers taking on O-linemen and shedding blocks for him to give him a tackling lane.

But this thread talks about making him a LB, and Roy is too small to handle O-linemen on his own, he cant shed those blocks on his own like what is expected of a true LB. It wold look like LaRon Landry and Brandon Jacobs in week 1 of last season.

Face it. Williams is a "gap safety" and the days of the gap safety are gone.

That's why I always referred to him as a "one trick pony".

Maybe as an OLB but that's a big maybe

Lets just enact a no former cowboy signing directive. I call it the "Neon Deon Rule"

That one rule could have saved us from Sanders, Turner and so many many more!

No maybe. He doesn't offer anything that we need. He is another Archuletta.

So if the Haynesworth deal did not go through, you would have been upset with signing Canty?

I would have. The contract that Canty signed for was idiotic and we were going to pay a higher bonus if Phat Albert wasn't signed.
