TIDBIT: PHILADELPHIA -- It wasn't long ago Roy Williams the All-Pro became Roy Williams the four-letter word around the Metroplex after a certain performance during a certain Monday Night Football game.

Remember? Remember the talk that had Williams the safety becoming Williams the linebacker? Remember the knock on Williams that all he wants to do is "blow people up," and he couldn't cover receivers.

The talk stemmed mostly from Williams being burned not once, but twice against the Washington Redskins on Sept. 19 in late and rather humiliating fashion.

But it was the same Williams who is now a Metroplex Monday Night Football icon, and he made himself into one in the Cowboys' final appearance on ABC's Monday Night Football as the Cowboys bewildered the Eagles 21-20.
