Max997 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Roy Williams was let go in Dallas. He is a SS. The Bills have hinted at maybe playing Whitner at FS so his coverage skills can be utilized more. Williams was a beast when the Cowboys played the 4-3 like Buffalo does now. However he has seen his production drop in the new 3-4 scheme of the Cowboys. I am not sure what his cost would be. However he is 28y/o. So he is not too old. He did have injuries last year, so the price might not be too crazy on him. This is a guy worth a phone call and a visit. If he and his agent are realistic about his worth. you're kidding right? the guy couldnt cover me right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubj04 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 If used correctly he be a nice pick up for us. It would be nice to put a little fear in the opposing team's WR's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quikchomp Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 It would be a great pickup for use against run-heavy teams...his coverage skills suck, but he's still a premier run-stopping SS. Bring him aboard for a year and let Donte roam free as the FS. Ironically, back in 2002 this was the guy I was hoping we'd draft at #4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GripnRip Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 The question to whether Roy Williams would make sense in Buffalo depends completely on one person: DONTE WHITNER. If he is the real deal he should be able to handle cover 1's on running downs, and compensate for Williams' lack of coverage ability. To be honest though, our zones are so soft I can't imagine him being any worse than Bryan Scott, and would certainly be an upgrade in run support. Like I said, it's up to the coaching staff to evaluate whether Whitner is really a good enough FS to compensate for a liability in coverage at SS. Personally, I say go for it if the price is reasonable. Give Whitner a chance be the player he thinks he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
