THANK YOU MR. ROY WILLIAMS
IT STINKS AND NOW ITS ILLEGAL.....THE INFAMOUS ROY WILLIAMS HORSE-COLLAR TACKLE
loth
Cowboys safety Roy Williams is hardly the lone defender in the league to employ the so-called "horse-collar" tackle, but his play in 2004 was certainly the principle catalyst for a proposed rules change to outlaw the technique. Here are four examples of Williams' use of the horse-collar tackle in 2004 that were reviewed by the NFL competition committee:
• In an Aug. 30 preseason game, Williams dragged down Tennessee wide receiver Tyrone Calico on a second-quarter end-around play that was nullified by a holding penalty. On the play, Calico sprained both knees, and suffered a cartilage tear in his left knee. Calico had arthroscopic surgery to repair the cartilage, and he missed the first three games of the regular season.
• Williams knocked out a pair of Baltimore tailbacks, starter Jamal Lewis and backup Musa Smith, within minutes of each other in a Nov. 21 game. On a play early in the first quarter, he horse-collared Lewis after a three-yard reception, sending the Ravens star to the sideline. Lewis returned for one play on the ensuing series, but then limped off with a badly sprained left ankle, which sidelined him for the balance of that game and for the following two contests. The injury sustained by Smith, a compound fracture of the right tibia, was far more serious and sidelined the second-year veteran for the final six games of the year. The play occurred with less than two minutes remaining in the first quarter, with Williams tackling Smith after a 12-yard run off right tackle.
• Undoubtedly the most infamous horse-collar tackle by Williams came in the Cowboys' game at Philadelphia on Dec. 19. Williams pulled down wide receiver Terrell Owens in the third quarter at the end of a 20-yard catch-and-run by the Eagles star. Owens was bent back on the play and broke his right leg and severely sprained his ankle. He missed the final two games of the season, and also Philadelphia's first two playoff outings, before returning for Super Bowl XXXIX.

guess he'll have to go back to learning how to tackle.
He's a bum and a cheap shot artist.
I hope he tries it and gets suspended.
He needs to take a lesson from Dawkins.
Same one I made to KOBE and Kuhl last season ... no response.
And even IF he does play this year, do you think he's going to put max effort, or have any sort of relationship with McNabb?
didn't a certain Einstein just state that the Eagles lost two championships at home? They had homefield advantage for three straight seasons, and two w/o TO ... who missed both playoff routs last season.
TO will play. It is all about money, and he wants to get paid. Both players in question are professional.
How bout a bet Axtell or Joey? You say teams like the boys are closing the gap? I say lets make it interesting - which I offered last year to Koby and Kuhl, after hearing them speak of how the Tuna took them to the playoffs the year before.
I must have missed this one
So what exactly was this bet ?
P.S Hey Beagle fans, compared to Andre " Dirty " Waters Roy W's a saint
but the cowboys did close the gap this year..
our defense is better, our running game is better, our offensive line is = or better then yours.
your qb is better, our te is better. if no TO then our wr's are the same. so where is it that you guys are going to be so dominating next year, i just dont get it??
<< <i>AXTELL - what about the bet I offered????
Same one I made to KOBE and Kuhl last season ... no response. >>
What bet was this? The only bet I have had offered is getting a certain mets fan putting a Mariners Logo as his signature for a month.
I hope none of this gets censored by the CU board.
Westbrook is BETTER and Buckhalter will be effective.
The "bet" was just as you guys stated - huh .... last season the boys fans were saying the same thing, Parcells this, and "improved" that, and I asked to make it interesting - NO TAKERS (kuhlman did make a bet with someone else and was quite honorable)
So I pose the same to Axtell et al that say the Eagles are done ...
WHO WANTS TO MAKE IT INTERESTING? ....

I think you are trying to read into what I have posted.
All I said was that the gap between the Eagles and the rest of the NFC has tightened because the Eagles have stood still while everyone else had made changes.
When did I say the Eagles were 'done'? When did I say the Bucs were going to win the NFC? I said the best the Bucs can hope for (and this would be a prayer) would be a 10 win season, that a 8 or 9 would be much more likely. I also said the Eagles are infinitely better WITH TO than without him (and if you think they aren't, well, you just don't know football).
I could have sworn you said that TO got them to the Super Bowl (he missed both playoff games) and that there was NO WAY the Eagles would have had home field advantage w/o him. The Eagles have hosted the game three years running ...
This year it will be four.
TO will be playing for the Eagles this season. The Eagles will win the NFC East. The Eagles will have home field advantage throughout the playoffs. The Eagles will go to the Super Bowl. The Eagles will win it.
I will entertain any bets on any of the above remarks.

Ha! It reminds me of my FFL @ work...
