Sadly, after this photo was taken, Roy Williams tackled this old bag by leading with his right forearm to her trachea. He also stole the blue plastic thing in her hand.
But, then again, that's just how Roy Williams plays the game. Physical, hard nosed. . .Any other cliches we can come up with?
The Bengals re-signed Roy Williams over the weekend. And the reason why there has been no word from the pancake kitchen, is because I smell a larger, more formidable article on the Bengals safety issue distilling in Brat's fermenters just down the road. This also will tie-in/lead in, to the the Tight Polyester weighing in on the Bengals' needs in next month's draft.
So many articles and thoughts for our loyal readers that I don't know whether to write all day, go to work, or lie on my sofa and watch Skip Bayless all day.
But, let's get to the point: Even without injuries, a good defense needs three good safeties. Bengals.com is reporting that Williams talked about how he and Crocker "made a good tandem" last year when they were healthy. And maybe that's the case. But the bigger point here is that now Cincy has 3 legit starting safeties in Chinedum, Chris, and Roy. Given the ages of the last two, I would expect that Ndukwe plays as much or more than the other two (and he really played great last season) but the unique talents all three of these fellers bring embolden an already good secondary.
Early preview on a draft thought: Get us a good nickel corner in rounds 2 - 4. Morgan Trent is a future strong safety who is a fierce blitzer, good tackler, and mean coverage guy on the short zone passes. However, Cincinnati needs a third corner to play on 3rd and long downs, because Trent is going on his 5th consecutive year of being entirely uncomfortable in deep coverage. The Bengals are one good corner away from having the best secondary in football.
-The Shorts! Lippincott that is!
