Stoops: Roy Needs a fresh start very interesting

Listening to the Ref Network and Bob Stoops spoke with Roy Williams he stated "Roy Williams is a player, plain and simple, the guy can play. I don't like how the media is protraying him and how they are ripping his game, you can say what you want, but this is a team game, not 1 man can make or break a team, championship teams don't operate like that"

The interesting point of the interview was when Stoops said, "I've given Roy some advice going into the offseason, and I spoke to him yesterday. Roy is not playing for the money but for his passion for the game, and I'm under the impression he would make some monetary sacrifices to play in Dallas or elsewhere, just my impression, one thing is for sure, Roy needs a fresh start"

Sounds like Roy would be willing to re-do his contract to make him easier to trade...very interesting nugget.

THe monetary sacrifices sounds to me like he would be willing to redo his contract to lower his numbers or something.

I think that with Campo coming back he will find his place in the 3-4 defense.  He will come back this season and play like the Roy Williams of old.  He is still a good player he just hit a slump and needs to get over it.

Look, I like Roy Williams as a person and all, but seriously this guy is becoming a liability in more ways than one.  Not just with his weak coverage skills, but with him not wrapping up when tackling.  Not to mention the guy is probably one "horse collar tackle" away from a multiple game suspension.  And now, he is isolating himself from the team and complaining about the defensive scheme and how he isnt comfortable in a 3-4.  Cry me a river Roy, you are a professional...deal with it or restructure and be shipped.

Last year who was the first you blamed when a Wr makes a TD and Roys 5 yrds away from him With the corner just catching up?

Roy is a FOOTBALL PLAYER....Perhaps he is out of position in the NFL and would make a better linebacker....He has been exposed in coverage, but he has been tremendous in other areas. Time will tell if the secondary will help him out or if he needs to move to another position....

I was watching America's game on tv over the weekend - and it was the 78 Steelers and the year of thr mel blount rule - that you could only jam within 5 yards of the line.  Blount was interviewed and said that if a rule gets named after you, then thats because you were too good at your job and they had to find a way to make it easier for everyone else.  I was thinking - that doesnt quite fit with the Roy Williams rule though does it?

My god I hope we get the old Roy back - but with his public admission that he doesnt fit in Wade's defence, i dont think that will happen at the boys.  If he doesnt play well this year I suspect he's history in silver and blue

Sport_24-7 when was Terence Newman ever getting cause I don't recall that.  But I can recall Chris Cooley beating Roy Williams; Jeremy Shockey beating Roy Williams; and a rookie in the playoffs name Kevin Boss catching big passes against Roy but I could be wrong.
