I never saw watkins play, so I dont know what kind of speed he has. What I do know is that with receivers such as Santana Moss and other speed burners the FS is going to have to be able to take away the deep ball. That is one thing I hate about Roy W. He just isn't fast enough to allow Dallas to go into any type of Cover 2 with success. I think with the solid front line the Cowboys would be able to drop their safetys and make teams play short if they didnt have a freaking LB playing SS. I love Roy's toughness and tackling ability, but I dont think he is a true safety. Having him in the game puts way too much pressure on the corners to cover deep since Roy has not shown the ability to get to those deep balls consistently. If Watkins even turns out to be a good nickle or dime coverage guy then he will greatly help this defense when they must play with 4 down linemen.
