No matter how much you don't like him. Mickey says it best.
Mickey: Boy, it's amazing how most of you have done a one-eighty
on Roy. Why, it was just two seasons ago many of you guys piled on me
for criticizing the "Pro Bowl" safety before the season began, and now
I see the tune seems to be changing. Sorry, but I find it hard to
believe a "safety" is having a hard time fitting into a 3-4 defense. I
mean, I was told to make the 3-4 work against the run had a heavy
dependency on the safety filling the one unprotected gap. And I thought
that was Roy's strength, supporting the run, right? Now he doesn't fit
in? If you know what to do, you fit in, and as I've been saying, half
the battle at safety is being prepared, so you can anticipate what's
coming. I have far less problem with Williams getting beat in man
coverage than I do with him not being where he is supposed to be while
over the top in zone or Cover 2. That's what irks me.
Mickey: You know, as I said, I agree with that. Guys are going
to get beat in man coverage, and if safeties were such good one-on-one
coverage guys they'd be cornerbacks. But again, what Williams needs to
improve on are his reads and tackling at the line of scrimmage. No more
ole'-ing with the limp shoulder or not fighting through the lead
blocker to get to the ball carrier. That's what hurts most.
I think somewhere he mentioned about the Safties Witten has burnt.
