Roy Williams, our hard-hitting safety, tells DallasCowboys.com that he's enjoying the new defensive scheme new head coach Wade Phillips is showing him. It brings Williams closer to the ball. Apparently, this allows Williams to use his instincts more than his foot speed. If he is used as a linebacker in some nickel defenses, so be it.

As my post says below, Dallas has had problems in zone defending the deep pass. Can this simple change in the defense help? Well, our corners, Henry and Newman, have had deep-pass protections problems as well. Does this make the defense rely on them more to be there when the deep ball is thrown? Personally, I think both Henry and Newman haven't performed at their best yet. Newman was a high pick for us and we gave up a lot to get Henry. They've shown a lot of inconsistency.

I'm just tired of seeing us get beat deep. We've had many of heartbreaking losses because of this. Parcells couldn't figure out a defense that could keep us from getting killed deep.

Hopefully, Phillips can do it. It may give us a few more victories this coming year.
