And I...I agree that his production should improve.<br /><br />And I hope it's something the team continues to address and work on. After all, Jerry knows better than anyone how much RW is costing since he's signing the gamechecks.<br /><br />But what I don't think helps the situation is the fans and media turning up the heat expecting the staff or RW to answer to them for his lack of production. That's just the kind of distracting firestorm we don't need around here this year when the team is starting to gain some momentum. <br /><br />If Miles Austin hadn't emerged as at #1 threat that opens the offense up, it would be a fair topic. But at this point, let's ride this thing out.<br /><br />Heck, the happiest person out of all this has to be Austin and his upcoming contract negotiation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-34069379174932118462009-11-04T09:20:06.623-06:002009-11-04T09:20:06.623-06:00I totally agree that the Williams production from ...I totally agree that the Williams production from the wide-out position has to change. And mostly it's because of the money we're paying him. Get some separation. I'd like a study to see how defenses are playing him (hint, hint)<br /><br />However, his blocking is OUTSTANDING! I say it's a huge part of why our running game is so good.

They all have the same exact QB. The same OL. The same plays called. The same velocity. The sample size is huge (80 passes as a Cowboy). He had the lowest pass catch % in 2008 and in 2009? How can we continue to alibi for the mountain of evidence that suggests he is not very good right now? Can it change? I would think/hope so, but let's not act like these numbers don't reveal some things.<br /><br />Are you charging Romo is trying to sabotage him? <br /><br />I appreciate his effort/attitude for the most part, but he simply must do better.Sturminatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03512218221714280831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-30317783616668091672009-11-03T17:08:11.045-06:002009-11-03T17:08:11.045-06:00I agree.

It seems that Romo saves his most off target, uncatchable passes for Roy - like that splenectomy he served up against Denver - then can't miss receivers #2-10.<br /><br />Although, Whitten had a couple of easy drops too.<br /><br />Not to take away from what all the receivers have been doing, but the Roy bashing is getting tedious. He doesn't pout, he gets upfield and blocks on every play.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17944653320220955714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-78054865365949263942009-11-03T14:13:43.167-06:002009-11-03T14:13:43.167-06:00I'm not a big fan of Roy Williams and I agree ...I'm not a big fan of Roy Williams and I agree that he's been a disappointment during the time he's been here. That being said, while the numbers for this week show 2 for 7, it doesn't show that at least two of those balls were difficult / impossible to catch, either behind or over the head of #11.<br /><br />Not defending his overall performance this season, but as far as the Seattle game is concerned 4 for 7 would look a ton better than 2 for 7 if Romo had hit his mark on those passes.Jeremy Bensleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05116131942168284223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-21993270649440494672009-11-03T11:23:52.576-06:002009-11-03T11:23:52.576-06:00Sure Roy is underachieving.
But at this point the...Sure Roy is underachieving.<br /><br />But at this point the team is doing fine without him. His attitude is good and he's not pouting, being a distraction or dogging it in other aspects of game.<br /><br />The question will be can he maintain this disposition as the pressure gets turned up every week on his lack of production, regardless of how the overall team (and Miles Austin) performs. If there's even a hint of discontent, Ed Werder will set up a cot at Valley Ranch with his big spoon to stir it up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
