Roy Williams could be benched on 3rd downs


Recommended Posts

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. :wacko:

 

I would however think this would dramatically lower his value.

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.

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...

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)
