Roy Williams Suspended 1 Game For Horse Collar
 

Damn I hope they win next week to rest players in the Week 17. But he deserves it he does that too much.

Re: Roy Williams Suspended 1 Game For Horse Collar
 

He's done it so many times that I simply don't believe that he's not trying to hurt people. The man knows what that kind of tackle can easily result in, but he does it again and again. I was actually pissed when I saw him do it last night.

Re: Roy Williams Suspended 1 Game For Horse Collar
 

It is about time the NFL does something other than just fining him.

Re: Roy Williams Suspended 1 Game For Horse Collar
 

He needs to man up and hit somebody like a true safety. Oh yeah, he's a Cowboy. My bad

First of all that hit was illegal, second of all hamlin got as much of the shot as shobel did, cool dude

He has never been a good safety IMO. His coverage skills sucks he is out to hurt people with those tackles. I feel LL is a better safety than RW.

And he still gets voted into the Pro Bowl on name recognition alone. Even most Cowboys fans know he's not very good. Every time I watch the guy play he attempts about 4 horsecollar tackles at a minimum. My only explanation is that he has done it so many times that he is unable to change his ways, it's pretty crazy.

Lets see....no flag.....no penalty.....no fine......and that hit was illegal how? Oh because Nicknack said so!

Re: Roy Williams Suspended 1 Game For Horse Collar
 

Finally!!!! I am so sick and tired of seeing that mofo do it again and again and again and get away with just a fine.

Re: Roy Williams Suspended 1 Game For Horse Collar
 

That Hamlin hit warrants a fine

Re: Roy Williams Suspended 1 Game For Horse Collar
 

Well the Hamlin hit was pretty nasty and should've warranted a penalty. Roy Williams should know not to keep doing the horse tackling considering the fact that the NFL made that tackle illegal because of him.

Re: Roy Williams Suspended 1 Game For Horse Collar
 

Every game of the roids I've seen this year, RW has used his "patented" tackle technique. About time the league got serious.

Re: Roy Williams Suspended 1 Game For Horse Collar
 

I think Roy Williams is an even dirtier player than Rodney Harrison, and I didn't think that was possible. Hopefully the Cowboys are beginning their implosion now. I was not sorry at all to see that Romo suffered that thumb injury to his throwing hand.

Hopefully we'll get one against Minnesota next Sunday, and then beat the heck out of Dallas the final week to get into the playoffs. The team looked really good against the Giants last night, and hopefully it's just a sign of things to come! We're back baby!!

Re: Roy Williams Suspended 1 Game For Horse Collar
 

Sooners fan here and I've never liked Roy.

Re: Roy Williams Suspended 1 Game For Horse Collar
 

Funny how after the tackle RW was SHOCKED to see he was being flagged. I guess he thought because he tapped the upper arm/shoulder first it was ok to grab the collar however no matter where you grab first on the body or jersy if you pull someone down backwards like that has proven to cause injury...thus the rule.
Looking at the Hamlin hit I would venture to say he did not get the flag because he turned and tried to hit with the shoulder first. As you listen to the announcers they spell it out for you. You can't hit a WR like that while in the air unprotected. I'm betting a fine will come of it. Why no penalty cause the Refs were to busy not trying to trip over the EAGLES Kicker on the sideline. lol.

Re: Roy Williams Suspended 1 Game For Horse Collar
 

I'm shocked the nfl did that,good for them

Re: Roy Williams Suspended 1 Game For Horse Collar
 

Roy has always been a dirty player.. Back to his early years he's either been going at people's knees or horsecollaring people.. He got what he deserves..

Re: Roy Williams Suspended 1 Game For Horse Collar
 

I only wish the league would have taken their time to really look at the film. You know and try to decide what was a good punishment. As well as fair. I don't know maybe taken atleast a week to think about it then decide that maybe one game or two would be appropriate. lol.

Re: Roy Williams Suspended 1 Game For Horse Collar
 

It's not fair that this guy can knock someone out of the season for an illegal hit that he does again and again. The NFL needs to protect its players and if he does it again, and I'd be surprised if he didn't, I think that would warrant a severe suspension.

It's possible Williams may try to appeal and push the suspension back to Week 17. But Williams is awful in pass coverage, and Cooley can totally abuse him. So I kind of hope he does play against us in week 17.

It's a dirty tackle from a horribly overrated player.

So was I, I started yelling they should throw him out of the game for that tackle, the guy is a dirty player, he constantly goes after the receiver's head first, he gets cut a lot of slack because the NFL loves to promote him, but that type of tackle is really bad news, it's a career ending type of tackle it's not like he didn't have a choice, he could have easily went for the players legs. Good for the NFL it's the only way he will learn.

Re: Roy Williams Suspended 1 Game For Horse Collar
 

The fact that he argued the call goes to show you he is not only dirty but stupid as well.

Re: Roy Williams Suspended 1 Game For Horse Collar
 

well, i hear they're going to repeal the rule, since williams won't be able to hurt t.o. since theyre now on the same team.

Exactly what I thought. He knocks people out for much more than just one game. The punishment should fit the crime.

It's interesting that he's the only player in the league who does it consistently.

Yeah that's cool. Illegal helmet-to-helmet hit which is likely to break BOTH guys necks, and it looks like Hamlin was on the ground longer than Schobel.

Definitely a cool hit. :rolleyes:

Re: Roy Williams Suspended 1 Game For Horse Collar
 

For the record, the suspension was warranted and Williams has nothing to complain about. He deserved that suspension 100%.

But that suspension is going to leave Dallas "thin" at the safety position for this Saturdays game at Carolina. Pat Watkins suffered a nasty sprain this week and he and Williams will be out for the Panthers game.

The irony is that the Cowboys secondary will most likely be facing off against Matt Moore, who will probably start for the Panthers. Matt Moore was signed as an undrafted rookie free agent by Dallas and then released by Dallas at training camp this year.

"Thin"?! Yeah, I'm real sorry you've lost so many important players. You wanna see thin, check out our depth chart right now.

On a slightly different note, it would be kind of nice if Roy Williams could horsecollar Tony Romo, knock Romo out for the season and then Williams would get suspended until 2008. Williams is about stupid enough that he might do it, too.

If only...

Re: Roy Williams Suspended 1 Game For Horse Collar
 

will he appeal the suspension?if he does,then he'll have to sit his cheap shooting dirty playing ass against the redskins wo'nt he????

Glad to see that some cowboys fans aren't completely ignorant and biased. My officemate (a cowboys fan who grew up in Pa, can we say frontrunner?) is tryin to explain to me that horsecollaring is part of the game and they need to let the "players play". When I brought up the fact that it almost ended TO's career and as a result the rule was put into play he was at a loss for words. I just don't get what Williams was protesting. There were three flags thrown and even Aikman commented that it was a horsecollar and that it has no place in the game.

Also no offense but that Matt Moore point that you brought up, isn't ironic. It's just an irrelevant fact that you brought up which only cowboy's fans would care about. Wrong forum for that.

Re: Roy Williams Suspended 1 Game For Horse Collar
 

roy has done it since day one and continues to do it so it serves him right .
yeah TO just about had his ankle taken off because of this nonsense...
i,m suprised that it wasn,t anything more than a 1 game suspension cause it,s his style that put this in place to start with and yet he continues to horsecollar..

cowboys being the cowboys i guess.

Re: Roy Williams Suspended 1 Game For Horse Collar
 

Obviously, this tackling technique is in his football DNA, so he WILL do it again even after a one game suspension. That begs the question, what is the penalty next time? 3 games without pay?

Frankly, I want him to play against the Skins. Whenever we try to exploit Williams in coverage he is a huge liability. Cooley owned him in Dallas last month.

Re: Roy Williams Suspended 1 Game For Horse Collar
 

I think he needs to attend some tackling clinics.

What you're saying is that my hatred for the Cowboys has made me biased and blind to rational observations?

I guess I don't see the problem.
