Roy Williams Agree To Terms With Cincy

[Zerohero]

Never seen a guy make 5 pro bowls in 7 years get ragged on so much
. Its proven you put him in the right situation he will be effective. Going with a former coach will help i'm sure.

Well at least 2 if not more were undeserved. I am not even kidding.

The guy has zero coverage skills. Just watch the Washington and New Orleans games from '06. It was embarrassing.

Agree 100%. He was, for a period of time, the most overrated player in the league. He should go in the Redskins ring of honor for all the plays Moss and Cooley made at his expense. LOL.

HAIL!!

Really. He should have been drawing a paycheck from Danny while he was in Dallas.

He's awful. He never was deserving of the Pro Bowl. Major hype as a lowly Safety got him 5 free tickets to Oahu. He stole those spots. He's actually worse than Alstott as far as over-hyped.

Well that didn't work in Dallas either. Dave Campo was the coach that originally drafted Williams in Dallas and for the last 2 seasons was actually his secondary coach. And that reunion did nothing to help RW's liabilities in coverage.

Williams simply had to get out of the 3-4 defensive scheme, and when Dallas switched to the 3-4 under Parcells, is when RW really declined in production. He also started falling off when Darren Woodson retired.

Now that he is in a 4-3, he will do better. With 4 linemen up front creating space for him to attack the line of scrimmage, he will do well against the run. In a 3-4, many times the OLB has to drop of into the flats and that left RW having to take on Guards, Tackles and Fullbacks one-on-one and he got owned. He's just too small to be a LB and too big to be a CB or Safety.

I think it was Peter King who recently quoted an NFL personnel executive as saying that Williams is completely done; the game has changed so much that there is no longer a place for line of scrimmage run stopping safeties.
