Dude, let it go. Babe said it was a zone and Roy's fault on the radio coverage. A few minutes later the side line reported stated that Campo had a long discussion with Roy following that play, not Henry.

If you watch the replay, Roy is immediately looking at Henry and trying to explain why he was where he was, instead where he was supposed to be.

It was a zone coverage. It was Roy's fault. Let it go.

Well there's a coaching problem with this team than because everyone should be fired. What receiver in this league can't burn Roy or any safety? It just doesn't make any sense. And the fact remains Henry was trailing him on that play. You never answered why he was running right behind on on that play.

Because he was his responsibility. No one's denying that he beat Henry deep. But do you understand the role of a safety?

I'm well aware of what a safety does. And I got the impression you were giving Henry a pass because Roy was back there. There both were at fault and Henry was the main culprit is what I was saying. As a safety your position varies. You don't always play the role of safety net. Sometimes you guard fullbacks and tight ends. It varies.

Obviously it does. But ont his particular play, based on the comments of people who know more about football than I do, and the actions of Campo after the play, and my own eye, this one's one Roy.

I'm just happy we won't ever have to have this conversation about Roy ever again.

I'd put money that Roy is back next year. What do you think they do with him? Cut or trade? The money to cut him would be so ridiculous that you might as well just keep him than screw up your salary cap.

I'm not as well versed in NFL salary cap issues as I am NBA, but Roy got an 11 Mil signing bonus in '06. He's had cap values of 4.6 and 3.5 the last two seasons. Assuming he has a cap value of over 3 mil this season, that wouldn't leave a whole lot of his guaranteed money left to accelerate if you cut him.

I have a hard time believing the Cowboys gave Roy the kind of contract that would make it hard to cut him three seasons into it.
