Dallas Safety Roy Williams: Should He Stay or Should He Go?

So many people have criticized Dallas Cowboys safety, Roy Williams for being “bad.”

I completely understand your thinking.

There are times when I myself—a Cowboys fan—have been praying that the quarterback does not throw the ball in his direction. 

Moreover, for all the things he does wrong, he doesn’t do what he does, to the best of his ability. 

You may remember when Williams was a rookie—he laid the wood.  Receivers shivered at the thought of running a post pattern in his vicinity.  Running backs would hold onto the football tighter than if it were the last dollar they had to their name. 

However, now players view him as a joke.  

Don't get me wrong, Cowboys fans. I am in no way bashing Roy.  All I'm saying is—pick it up Roy.

Now Roy I say to you:

Football can always be taught.  Hit the film room with Zach Thomas, get together with Campo and learn.  The ability is there, it doesn’t just go away.

All of this "I don't fit in this scheme” mumbo jumbo is crap.  You adjust to the game.  You have to make it work for you. 

Sure the NFL is cracking down on big hits, but come on man, at least wrap up the ball carrier.

This season is supposedly your “make or break” year. I truly don't buy that. I don't foresee “Roy Williams” grabbing 10 picks—sure it would be wonderful, but I’m not expecting it.

I anticipate some forced fumbles, some sacks; hey a couple punishing hits wouldn’t hurt either. 

Now is the time to improve.

Quiet all the haters. Prove that when people talk about elite safeties, they should be mentioning your name. 

Roy, just play your game, and just do what you do best.
