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.

Pro Bowl names just announced and Roy Williams did NOT make the list.

However 11 other Dallas Cowboys did make it.

Even Aikman said so. It was helmet to helmet. It should've been a penalty.

Are you arguing that it wasn't helmet-to-helmet? Or that it wasn't "unnecessary"? Or are you arguing that helmet-to-helmet isn't a penalty?

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.

That Hamlin hit warrants a fine

[skinsguy]

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.

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

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!!

Sooners fan here and I've never liked Roy.

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.
