Roy Williams Responds To ‘Isolation’ Remarks
Apparently the Dallas Cowboys coaches read the scoop on safety Roy Williams and he was brought into the office for a meeting Friday, reports the Star-Telegram. Defensive coordinator Brian Stewart and safeties coach Brett Maxie wanted to know how committed Williams is to the team.
“The communication was not there last year,” Williams said. “We recognized the problem, and we talked about it. And we’re going to move forward now. We have a better understanding.”
In the article, Williams explains that he prefers to work out alone because he concentrates better. What gets me is he is commenting about what Greg Ellis said earlier, on how Williams seemed to be isolating himself more from the team. What I don’t understand is, if Williams prefers to work out alone, did he always do it this way? If so, why is Ellis making it seem like this is a change of attitude for Williams? It’s confusing.
“I appreciate what Greg did, but at the same time, I’m a grown man, too, and I can speak for myself,” said Williams, who still considers Ellis a friend. “If I want to be heard, I will be heard.”
Williams also made a few sharp comments toward the fans.
“I’m tired about worrying about the fans,” Williams said. “The fans are only around when things are good. At the end of the day, we’re human beings, too. Everything can’t be perfect, and you can’t let your emotions rule over you being a human being. It gets to a point where you are abusing who you really are as a fan.”
Yikes, Williams. I was around before you were, kid. I went through the 1-15 season, my friend. I remember it well. I’ve been a fan for the good times and the bad. I take some offense to what he says here, if he is quoted in context. I don’t think us, the fans, asking you to learn how to cover a receiver or tight end is abusing our fanship. We are tired of getting burned in the secondary, Roy. Just because we are fans doesn’t mean we cannot be critical of players when they’re not playing up to par. To say we don’t have the right means we’re just supposed to love losing. We don’t.
We learned a hard lesson last year, how the regular season’s only importance is ensuring a playoff spot. Once you’re in, it’s a whole new game. Going 13-3 was nice. But winning a Super Bowl is better. Heck, we just want to win a playoff game, Roy. And we can do that if our secondary plays better.
roy has got some nerve with the comments about the fans…I’m around during the good and bad…we just want someone who can cover in our secondary…its not our fault that he probably couldn’t cover my grandmother…I’m beginning to get sick of his mouth too…we’re critical of him b/c he is getting paid big money but not playin up to those standards…i hope we get rid of that bastard soon
May 11th, 2008 at 5:42 pmWasn’t he in the pro bowl last year? He must be good. The fans should leave him alone. The man just wants to…BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! I’m sorry, I couldn’t finish saying it with a straight face. This is just going to get worse until he’s benched.
May 11th, 2008 at 7:47 pm**tips his hat in agreement with this post completely
May 11th, 2008 at 8:20 pmThat is bull about the fans I still wore his Jersey this year even though he sucked. I belive in him because he is a Cowboy he needs to watch his comments because fans are a big part of why teams are good also.
May 12th, 2008 at 2:41 pmI love cotton candy and lolipops. Hi Roy
May 12th, 2008 at 9:29 pmBeing a Dallas fan I do agree with Roy. Texas Stadium is notorious for booing the team when they are down. Not to many teams get that type of treatment, why should Americas? So if he has some frustrations about people saying stuff on a blog or a news paper add rather than to his face, then he has every right to do so. Like this love4the star guy umm no? If he feels so strongly about The Cowboys judgment on who they keep on their team he should choose another! Go COWBOYS !!
May 13th, 2008 at 7:38 amfig08 your an idiot…last I checked I wasn’t the only one who wanted a replacement for roy…y don’t u get off roy’s nuts for a minute and watch his consistent poor play on the field u moron…it’s not like i’m attacking him as a person im attacking his play on the field which everyone seems to do…and apparently texas stadium is the only stadium you’ve been to cause every stadium I’ve been to boos there team for one reason or another when they r frustrated with them…in fact I’d say its far less severe in dallas than other places…try goin to the Linc in philly when mcnabb f*cks up and giants stadium when eli throws an interception…what some of the fans do in texas stadium doesn’t compare to those places…and GO BOYS!!
