THE BENCH or THE DOOR!!!!

the source, Roy Williams stating how Greg Ellis feels disrespected again this year and it would be better for him to be cut since dallas keeps drafting linebackers to take his spot… Gee, haven’t heard that story before…..

Perhaps Roy’s responsibility does differ significantly in this defense, but I haven’t really noticed it. I feel like if there are big differences, they were designed to play to Roy’s strengths. I guess not. He wasn’t playing great in Parcells’ last year here.

As for Ellis, I am beyond caring about whether he feels disrespected. Shut up or retire Greg, nobody cares about whether you feel disrespected/underpaid anymore. You’re getting old and do nothing but complain about your contract, so is it any wonder why they draft linebackers? Is Erik Walden really such a threat? It’s like he doesn’t have anything to complain about, so he’s just recycling last year’s complaints.

But that’s because in his OLD role he was raipdly becoming the 2nd coming of Elvis “Toast” Patterson.

but can anyone really step up and defend this guy anymore? It looks like he has simply lost the heart to play the game and is grasping at any excuse (changing his number, new defense etc.) to shift the blame away from him. If the boys can’t cut him this season due to salary cap restraints, demand a restructuring or just bury him on the bench. This team has too much potential to let one crappy player derail all their plans.

It’s a little early for Ellis to start bitching about things. And why does he feel the need to talk about how a teammate doesn’t fit in to Dallas’ defensive plans? Is he sitting in on the DB coach’s meetings? Greg we love you on the field, but I suggest a gag orger be placed on him restricting him from talking to the media.

I am suprised to hear someone put a current teammate out there like that.

I personally would rather have Hamlin and Watkins Start…

I wish Roy had some Value.. How does a guy go the Pro-Bowl that often and have no trade value.. Can we get a 3rd for the guy?

These are comments from Last Year, Come ON Greg..

Roy lost some LBS hopefully we see a change.

I know they will continue to throw Watkins in 3rd downs..

Roy was my favorite player when he was in college and I was soooooooo stoked when Dallas drafted him.

Was my favorite player on Dallas while Woodie was here. After that, I found myself continually cussing at him on TV. Shockey burns him. Ben Watson burns him. Any Moss. Any WR at that. Most TEs. FBs can outsmart him.

This changing his jersey # may be his last hope in Dallas.

Yes, I wish Ellis would’ve not volunteered any of this about Roy, but it was obvious that he is Roy’s friend and is rooting for him and was trying to defend him. His only point is that maybe Roy really does fit better in a different system (I’m not sure that position has existed for a few decades though…one where the SS never has to cover anybody…)

Also, Ellis was not complaining at all about his situation in Dallas. He actually sounded really, super up-beat and excited. He knows his career won’t last forever and he seemed pretty up-to-speed with the business realities of the NFL.

I think he is mildly concerned that the whole Hard Knocks thing may distract the young guys. He says the vets have got to step up and stay on top of that sort of thing.

Don’t be hatin’ on him yet.

best D player we have had for the past decade, he has the right to talk and he earned the right to say what he wants. And it sounds like he wants this guy out of here, Roy sucks, Roy apologists, im sorry, but he has got to go or move him to LB, one or the other. He can’t play safety here…

if he takes a large pay cut. He’s not worth the millions that could be used to improve the team at other positions.

Ellis isn’t saying anything more negative about Roy than anyone on this blog has stated.

Why do people care what Ellis is saying in the press?

Roy used to one of my favorite Cowboys; even when the team struggled, I knew #31 would give me reason to smile every Sunday. He was good for a bone crunching hit or two a game, but then something happened – He was asked to cover. It seems as though the Monday night game against the Redskins a couple of years ago marked the begininng of what looks like the end of Roy Williams or maybe it was Kelly Rowland. Anyway, the #31 jersey that I used to wear with pride, now sits in the back of my closet. I miss the old Roy, but I don’t think he’s coming back anytime soon and if he does, it probably won’t be as a member of America’s Team.
