DMN Blog: What would Rivera do with Roy Williams?
I'd love to be a fly on the wall when Jerry Jones and Ron Rivera discuss Roy Williams during next week's interview, assuming the Bears defensive coordinator gets a chance to state his case for becoming the Cowboys' head coach.
I'll bet that Rivera would want to move Williams to weakside linebacker in his 4-3 scheme.
I'm not trying to jump on the pile of criticism about No. 31's problems in pass coverage. Let's focus on what Williams does well -- create havoc around the line of scrimmage and make big hits. He's the prototype WLB for a "Tampa Two," the scheme popularized by Tony Dungy with the Bucs that the Colts, Bears and a bunch of other teams use.
If you want to see how Williams would fit in the scheme, watch the Colts' Cato June during the Super Bowl. He's 6-0, 227 -- almost the exact same size as Williams -- and played safety at Michigan.
