Safety Roy Williams released

[pantherclaw]

We could sign him to be the official asshole of the franchise.

That is about all he's good for.

[Mr. Scot]

When you have a rule unofficially named after you, it ain't a good thing.

[The Link]

I don't see a need for him, like someone already stated we have Harris.

Roy's coverage skills are awful.

Harris's are worse.

[Mr. Scot]

Harris's are worse.

I wouldn't go that far.

[The Link]

I wouldn't go that far.

Really?

I would.

[Ncstatefan]

No thanks

[Big Bang Theory]

Really?

I would.

Harris wasn't the safety getting posterized on a weekly. Or getting caught out of position.

I don't know where people are getting this idea that Harris can't cover.

But usually when I say that and ask the individual to back it up...All they ever do is pull his 40 time. Which has nothing to do with game speed.

Roy Williams= thug.

The Panthers shed thugs, they don't absorb them.

[ChucktownK]

Harris's are worse.

Yeah but Williams don't scare teams like Harris does.

[cptx]

N.O.

i see what you did there...

[Mesmer]

Roy Williams is an idiot, and a mediocre safety. His "best" attribute is that of a cheap shot artist.

I'd take Chris Harris 1000 times over. Even if you take coverage completely out of it, Harris is hungry for the football, and is an excellent leader.

What did he do wrong? I think he sucks, but I don't remember him doing anything that would make him a thug.

[Mesmer]

Not so sure about the thug remark, but upon a quick search of his wiki page, I found some luls.

Williams was named to the 2007 All Keep Choppin' Wood Team by Football Outsiders[6], an anti-Pro Bowl team consisting of the players who hurt their teams the most in 2007. Williams was the only player to make the team that was also selected to the Pro Bowl. According to Football Outsiders writer Bill Barnwell: "There’s not a more laughable 'reputation' pick for the Pro Bowl than Williams, whose utter inability to cover anything was the problem the Cowboys defense had to hide all season. The Cowboys’ weakness in pass defense was their number 28 ranking against tight ends, a direct reflection of Williams, who was often isolated against those tight ends with much flailing ensuing. At this point, Williams is not only not a Pro Bowler, he’s a net negative to the Cowboys defense."
