So I'm chillin' with the old man catchin' this weekends pro-football action when a thought occurs to me: could Roy Williams cover my grandmother? Then I thought, that probably isn't a good question because my grandmother is in pretty good shape. I kept thinking of appropriate questions that would challenge Roy Williams' place as a supposed Pro-Bowler when I though of the following: could Roy Williams cover an NFL-caliber wide receiver? Answer, no. Then I said to my baby self, wouldn't it be better to judge Roy Williams status by asking him to do something that a strong safety should be able to do, which is tackle people. If one (that one being me, friends) were to make that determination based on Sunday's game with the Giants, then the answer to the question of whether or not Roy Williams can make a tackle on an NFL caliber wide receiver in the biggest game of the season when it is imperative that you, the SAFETY!, prevent people from scoring is no.
Roy Williams stat line from Sunday's game against the Giants: Tackles 1, Solo 1, Assists, 0, Passes Defensed, 0, Forced Fumbles, 0, Interceptions, 0, Sacks 0, Missed Tackles That I Counted, 2, Missed Tackles That Lead Directly to Giants' Scores, 1. He had one tackle. In a playoff game. At home. And he's going to the Pro Bowl. LaRon Landry, a rookie, had 5 tackles, all solo, 4 passes defensed, and 2 interceptions in a playoff game, on the road. He also had three more tackles that Williams on the season.
So, you Roy Williams (who seems like a pretty nice guy, by the way), are the inagural winner of the BDQPBotW. Congratulations. We'll be expecting a check for twenty-dollars as our reward for bestowing such an honor upon you. Your welcome! Have a great offseason! 'Cause your team lost. In the playoffs. At home. As a number one seed. After a bye week. The first time this has ever happened in the NFC. Well done.
