The Bengals have made another offseason move to shore up the defense in adding a guy that just loves to hit. Roy Williams formerly of the Dallas Cowboys has agreed to a deal with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Len Pasquarelli reports:
The seven-year veteran was a fixture in Dallas' interior secondary until his release. He was named to five Pro Bowl teams and one All-Pro squad. During his career with the Cowboys, Williams had 611 tackles, 6 1/2 sacks, 19 interceptions and 56 passes defensed. Blessed with the instincts of a safety and the hitting power of a linebacker, Williams was often a liability in pass coverage. He was at his best playing close to the line of scrimmage and was an effective defender versus the run. Zimmer knows Williams well and should be able to design a defense that emphasizes his strong points.
Here are what I see as the positives of this move:
1. A little more swagger
on D from a guy that will knock your head off.
2. Teams back up with Zimmer who knows what to expect from him.
3. Wants to be in the Nati, (read cincyJungle's post)
4. Has been to 5 probowls. He knows how to play the game.
