Cris Carter says Roy Williams should stay at safety

"I'm a Dallas Cowboys fan and I read a lot of blogs and everyone and their momma wonders why the 'Boys leave Roy Williams in the secondary? Are the coaches seeing what the fans are seeing? He gets exposed week in and week out … why don't they use him at linebacker since he plays the run better than anything else he does? He will be the reason we lose a game in the playoffs."

The position he's playing right now is his most effective position. Yes, he gets victimized in the passing game – and that's not good – but he is still a solid safety all around. You have to understand, it takes a lot of qualities to play linebacker – quickness, tackling ability and sheer force – so you just can't take someone from another position and think they could all of a sudden handle that role. Williams has been playing safety for quite some time and it would be disastrous to move him to linebacker.
