Roy Williams Suspended 1 Game For Horse Collar

[htownskinfan]

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

[Paintrain]

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..

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.

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.

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.

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.

Video is on aols front page for anyone who missed it.

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

Uh oh? Are you about to start a "Roy Williams Oveerrated?" thread?

[EternalEnigma21]

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.

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...

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.

[redskinsfanatic]

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????

[birdz4gibbs]

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.
