Roy Williams gets upset with Matt Mosley
When told the Bill Parcells blamed seven touchdowns on the safety position, Williams said, "A lot of people get beat in the NFL. Who cares? Stuff happens. Bill has pointed that out."
Mosley had an interesting discussion with Williams about who points fingers the media, coaches and fans.

We have a lot of ground to cover and a short time to do it. I'm required to attend a work happy hour at 5:30 p.m. and then have a TV appearance at 6:30.
The good news is that I do my best work following happy hours.
But in case you care what happened out at Valley Ranch today, Bill Parcells gave Miles Austin the kiss of death and safety Roy Williams pouted his way through a series of questions.
First, let's deal with this Terry Glenn injury situation. Dr. Bill called it a chondromalacia, which those of us in the medical field know as an irritation under the lining of the knee. By the way, it's Glenn's right knee. He's listed as probable, which under the Parcells administration, means he may have to lose the leg. My gut's telling me that Glenn isn't playing Sunday. And if he doesn't practice tomorrow, we'll know that for sure. ...
Since Calvin has already put the Roy Williams thing out there, I'll try to explain what happened. I asked him if the fact that the free safeties had been burned for several long touchdowns had forced him to be less aggressive. He accused me of "finger-pointing" and then said I was trying to "flip" everything around on him. This was the first time Williams had spoken to reporters since Sunday's loss. He's the most thin-skinned star in the league but I realize a lot of you don't care about that. What does he do on Sundays? Well, not quite enough lately. ..
.Parcells thinks undrafted rookie WR Miles Austin has "tremendous potential as a player." Austin will return kicks Sunday. He said he "didn't see enough" from Skyler Green. ... Parcells has told his team that at least 30 NFL games will "come down to the wire" this year and that it has to execute when under "duress." ...
Parcells said that Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart does a good job of going to the "outlet" pass quickly. He's worried about Arizona getting Edgerrin James in space on short throws. ... Parcells said he expects DE Jason Hatcher to be a "pressure player" and he hopes he can spell DeMarcus Ware. ... Parcells said he's never liked the two-point conversion rule in the NFL. ... LB Ryan Fowler's mother was born in Tehran, Iran and has the word "Omead" tattooed on his arm. I'm pretty sure it means "the light," but I forgot to write it down. Remind me to tell you the rest of this story. Pretty fascinating.
