Roy Was Right You Know

like 6 years. And how long has he been sucking? Almost 3 years. Up until the end of last year I was rooting for the guys. But seriously I just had it. If sticking it out for three years, waiting for him not to suck makes me fickle then I don’t know what to tell you.

What even worse is he is getting paid a boat load and he is not making any effort what so ever to improve. Even worse its almost like he is trying to be lazy and a brat. He doesn’t work out with the rest of the team, he skips OTA’s for a vacation, and he calls out his fans and teammates (such as finger pointing on the field).

There is only so much a fan can take. I respect and root for anyone who in turn respects the star. Admittedly, I wasn’t a big Felix Jones before the draft as many people know. But after he was drafted he made such glowing declarations of his love for the Cowboys that I made a 180 degree turn, and I am now one of his biggest supporters. The problem is Roy doesn’t have love and passion for the Cowboys or football in general, so I see no reason why I should give him any love.

If he had only had one bad season, I don’t think any of us would be this hard on him. 2 tough years is frustrating, but going on 3 years is a trend. The thing is, it’s NEVER Roy’s fault, it’s always somebody else’s blown assignment. Yes, he has to cover for others’ mistakes, but he doesn’t take responsibility for ANYTHING.

with all his excuses and poorly timed comments. First Parcells held him back, then he lost weight and would be faster, then he didn’t understand the defense now he’s lost weight again etc. Then in interviews he says winning a super bowl would be nice but charity work is his passion and then he chides the fans for not supporting him.

All I can say is “Roy, walk your talk or get the hell out of Dallas!!!” I don’t want to hear one more thing come out of his mouth, I want to see improved play on the football field.

And Far Rider, I guarantee everyone on this blog loved watching Roy play during the first part of his career, myself included. I was a little let down three years ago with his play but had faith it was just a hiccup. Then I was worried two years ago but figured maybe a new coach would do him good. Then last year I was just about disgusted and the only thing he had going for him was that he was a Cowboy. After his behavior and comments this offseason the only thing that will make me think he isn’t a useless turd is a season of high level play followed by him keeping his mouth shut.

Billito out!

We are hard on Roy because he has set a high level of expectations. I know Pro Bowls are a joke in some ways, and I know that opposing offenses target him, but if Roy got cut by Dallas, he would be signed in a second, probably by a NFC rival. He can contribute and help, but he can’t make dominant plays anymore, and that’s a tough pill for both player and fans to swallow. My hunch is that he is a good enough football player to adjust to his changed abilities and the team’s needs for him.

I have sympathy for Roy, but at the same time I don’t. Fans are impatient and this is a good example of that. As long as he shows he’s not believing his own hype, working hard, and helping his team, the fans will welcome him back with open arms.

For booing a guy that gets burnt beyond recognition far too often! Shame on you for turning against a guy who instead of wrapping around a players legs tries to go for the hard hit and thus gives up easy yards. You know you should be ashamed of yourself everytime you see an opposing player throw a long bomb and you whisper “Man I hope Roy isn’t the one covering the receiver”

And really, do any of you junior high girls really think it’s right to criticize a guy who still breaks a rule three years later that was named after him? C’mon now! Be real fans and support the player, no matter how overrated they are and how much they suck!

After all, who do you think you are…Philly fans?

I watched the game and the NFL replay of the Giants game and Shockey caught a fair amount of passes on K. Hamlin. He 9 tackles in 3 other games and no TE had over 60 yds or a TD.

I guarantee you there is no one better we can get. He’s still one of the top safetys in the nfc. The first time pat watkins gets run over everyones going to be like, wow wish we would’ve stuck with Roy. Now I agree, man..does he get burned on occasion. I think he would’ve been a lot better on Coverage if it wasn’t for reeves being the epitome of garbage. The mans got talent, I say atleast give him this last year to prove what he’s got. If not, by all means get rid of the guy. There’s no excuses this year.

Plain and Simple, we lose more than we gain if we get rid of him, by far.

with the upgrades at the CB position….I think it will greatly decrease the probability of Roy being placed in a position or on an island deep trying to help out a burnt(Reeves) CB that was already playing 10 yards off the line…...this is his last chance to redeem himself…..

Of course I have never gone against the grain here before (smile).

But there are 32 coaches every year that select the Pro Bowl players. If Roy is so bad then why do those 32 coaches keep returning him to the Pro Bowl? (Yes, I know you can’t vote for your own player so 31).

1. They are too lazy to go by anything but reputation

2. They are convinced that putting Roy in the Pro Bowl is good for the game.

3. They have to study hours of game film on Roy and scheme around him to keep him from making those high impact plays. So they, far better than we, are in the place of judgment.

I am of the #3 persuasion. Roy is not perfect. He was better in coverage before the NFL outlawed hand checking and other time-honored skills that defensive backs used. Now any back gets burned. The best cornerbacks do not give up many touchdowns because there are easier teammates for the offense to throw against. But they can all be burned now. It is essential that the defense get to the QB. Pressure and sacks change the game as attested by NYG last year. No cover skills? No problem if you have three monster pass rushers.

IF Sean Taylor wasn’t killed…Roy would not have made the Pro Bowl…simple as that….but….You can’t name 3 better Strong Safeties in the NFC….....They are a dying breed for sure…..You need two Free Safeties nowadayz….Anthony Henry, Mike Jenkins, Pat Watkins, or Courtney Brown all would be worthy of a spot back there in the near future….I’m rooting for Mike Jenkins to become a Free Safety, and if Hamlin isn’t resigned long term, you can bet that Dallas is thinking he’s the eventual long term solution ...nickle or dime packages…or outright starter in a few seasons if indeed Henry goes back there after this season….....IF Pacman ever decides to get his act together, and gets reinstated, I’m certain he’ll become the #2 starter opposite #1 Newman, not Jenkins…Scandrick will eventually become #3, maybe Ball or Oglesby #4 and #5

There is no excuse for Roy not being able to pick up the teachings of our secondary coaches….unless he’s simply not committed to getting better…..Darren Woodson started out as an undersized OLB and worked his way to All Pro…........how bout you Roy ? got it in you ?

My guess is no…..you already have the money…why not just ride out this unimportant part of your life…..go preach somewhere or wake up and snap back into reality my man….
