Alphadawg7 Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Per Rotoworld... According to his agent, "several" teams are interested in free agent SS Roy Williams. Williams has already turned down an offer from one team. He's looking for a chance to play for a team with a 4-3 scheme that will allow him to play closer to the line of scrimmage. I think he could be a good fit here...5 Pro Bowls in 7 years in the league and he is 28 years old...this would free up Whitner to be a playmaker. We have the right scheme...worth a look.

He's horrible against the pass...idk if he's much better than what we have honestly..got to those probowls on name
Beerball Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 He's horrible against the pass...idk if he's much better than what we have honestly..got to those probowls on name With the pass rush we produce he would be toasted early & often.
Leonidas Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Roy Williams is awful against the pass. I wouldn't even entertain this idea. In the cover 2 both safeties need to get deep. The Patriots would have a field day with him. Pass.
atlbillsfan1975 Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 I posted this last week. I think you are right on about him. Whitner can play FS. Its is definetly worth a look. Price has to be right. There was talk about him moving into a weakside LB role. Especially in nickel coverages.
IHFO Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 whitner and williams... that sounds good glad we are building a team on how names sound..could be a law firm or something tho someday who knows lol
IHFO Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 He's solid against the run so if they wanted to use him as a LB I think it would be interesting...still sucks against the pass though and our LB's in this scheme have to cover
damj Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 If you can't beat em ... sign em ... we can become Dallas North ...
Pete Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 I like it! Especially once we start stock piling pass rushers this draft!
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 i think it could work, our defense wold have more flexability and be able ot use different pressure packages and blitz schemes
SuperKillerRobots Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 i think it could work, our defense wold have more flexability and be able ot use different pressure packages and blitz schemes You have a lot of faith in the innovation of the defensive coaches here.
cody Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Williams has already turned down an offer from one team. He's looking for a chance to play for a team with a 4-3 scheme that will allow him to play closer to the line of scrimmage Our SS does not play that close to the line of Scrimmage. Roy Williams wants a team that runs the Greg Williams style 46.
lets_go_bills Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 If Whitner is rangy enough to hold down the free safety spot; if McKelvin, McGee and Florence can cover guys well; if the D-Line can pressure the QB; then Williams can be an asset. He is a devastating hitter and a run stopping force but he is an extreme liability in pass coverage. It is a risky move but it could work in Buffalo if they deploy him properly. Plus, he's an upgrade over Scott.
ganesh Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 whitner and williams... that sounds good He is the same guy who requested the Bills to not draft him . I believe the Bills went for Mike Williams that year.
