kpholmes Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Newy Scruggs, writing for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, reports Dallas Cowboys S Roy Williams could get benched on third downs during the 2008 seasons. Man I can't understand this decision... he's so good in pass coverage. I would however think this would dramatically lower his value.

Tford Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Of course it will hurt this value. If he isn't routinely burned in pass coverage, how will he amass enough horse-collar tackles to be a fantasy force? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyalboyd Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Should have happen long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Newy Scruggs is a blowhard as well, so take this with a grain of salt until you hear it somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpholmes Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 From Football Guys: Source: Tim MacMahon, Dallas Morning News During an appearance on Sirius NFL Radio today, Dallas Cowboys LB Greg Ellis said that SS Roy Williams doesn't feel like he fits in HC Wade Phillips' scheme and has been isolating himself from teammates. "He said, 'Greg, this defense does not fit me. I don't fit in well with this defense at all,'" Ellis said. "So when he told me that, I was like, 'Well, man, it's still new. Get used to it and it'll probably be fine for you.'" And obviously I think it came to be true. Just like he said, he doesn't fit what's going on here in Dallas right now." Ellis went on to say that he was bothered by the way Williams has isolated himself from teammates. He said Williams is still working out at Valley Ranch, but he's leaving the facility by 7:30 a.m., so he's not spending any time with his teammates. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ OUR VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Is "I don't fit in well with this defense" code for "I can't cover a receiver any longer"? If so, then this makes sense. I would say that Scruggs' original statement might have some truth to it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that Scruggs' original statement might have some truth to it... if i recall correctly he was pulled on 3rd downs(some) last year too...so it wouldnt be a stretch to see toast...ummm I mean Roy benched on 3rd downs again(maybe even more plays)....I see his alientating himself as beinga a selfish little baby who is probably hoping he gets his way (plays or gets dealt) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
