Roy Williams gone MIA?
Is Roy Williams just an overpaid, overhyped, overweight safety? Some seem to think so
Where the heck is he?
Where is that guy the Cowboys spent an eighth pick in the draft on in 2002? The guy who had a career-high 127 tackles that season, along with a career-high seven behind the line of scrimmage?
Where is that guy who would have regularly appeared on ESPN’s favorite Monday night segment of “Jacked Up,” he being the one doing the jacking up?
Why did this four-time Pro Bowler not have a Pro Bowl impact on this team this year? Talk about Terrell Owens, come on.
Look, I know he had five interceptions this season, and another one in the playoffs. But sometimes interceptions don’t tell the whole story, because if they did, then you would argue to me Williams is better in coverage than Terence Newman, who finished the regular season with only one interception.
This guy should be all about tackles, yet he had but 86 this year, fourth on the team - and behind a cornerback for goodness sakes (Anthony Henry). He had only two tackles for losses, one forced fumble and one quarterback pressure. And don’t tell me they didn’t blitz him enough. They did, but when they did, he didn’t get there.
Hey, in that Philadelphia game, the one at Texas Stadium on Christmas Day, by golly the official play-by-play crew credited him with one tackle. One! Although, he did end up with two more after the coaches’ tape review. To me, that’s an invisible performance.
That wasn’t just an aberration, either. He finished the Carolina game with one “assisted” tackle. Arizona with one tackle. Seattle with three.
Where’s ol’ Roy?
