Re-thinking My Position

For years, I have not been a fan of Roy Williams, because I always felt he was an overrated safety as the result of his poor coverage skills.

After watching the Chargers Merriman tear up the Raiders last night, I began to think how he would be not nearly effective in the Cowboy's D, because, like they do with Ware, the coaches or the scheme would limit his playmaking ability by refusing to take advantage of his natural abilities.

Again, the lack of attack in the defense is taking a potential superstar in Ware and reducing him to an average LB. Heck, even Fujita played well in his Saints debut and he was nothing here.

Which brings me back to Roy. Forever, I though it was his fault for being not near as big a factor as his fans claimed he was, but after careful consideration, the blame falls on the scheme, and more directly, Zimmer. I'm actually glad he's in the last year of his contract.
