Keyshawn Must Be That Guy

(Editor's Note: This is the seventh of a 10-part series, DallasCowboys.com analyzing the Cowboys position-by-position as they begin final preparations for the July 31 start to training camp. Today will feature the wide receiver position.)

IRVING, Texas -- Keyshawn Johnson, front and center.

Because that is exactly where the Dallas Cowboys need him this year in the offense if they are to significantly improve on last year's somewhat spotty production.

Sure the Cowboys need improved play at running back, but at least they used a second-round pick on Julius Jones and think they have an insurance policy with Richie Anderson. And sure the Cowboys need improved play at quarterback, and if Quincy Carter doesn't give that to them, then Vinny Testaverde or Drew Henson are waiting in the wings.

But the Cowboys are out on a limb at wide receiver heading into training camp next week. They have little choice but for Johnson to be their lead receiver - their go-to guy - and presumably why they swapped Joey Galloway for the ninth-year veteran who was on the outs with Jon Gruden at Tampa Bay.



While ninth-year veteran Terry Glenn did lead the team's receivers last season with 52 catches and five touchdown receptions, he's more of a second or third receiver. And while Antonio Bryant could one day become this team's lead guy, he has yet to demonstrate that capability, and who knows how deep the jersey-tossing incident has placed him in Bill Parcells' "hotel."

So again, Keyshawn, front and center.

With several other veteran receivers available on the open market this season, Parcells and the Cowboys obviously circled Johnson as the guy they wanted, signing him to the four-year, $20 million deal in the sign-and-trade with Tampa Bay. The Cowboys knew they not only needed a lead receiver, but a bigger receiver than what they've been playing with over the past couple of seasons, and Johnson fits that bill.

He's 6-4, 212, and does have a reputation for going over the middle and fighting for his dear life for balls. He's one guy who is hard to bump off routes or jostle balls away from, something the Cowboys had problems with last year with Galloway, Glenn and Bryant. Johnson must fill that missing need.

But again, this is not a no-brainer. Johnson played in just 10 games last year before being basically fired with pay by Gruden. Even Parcells admits the guy has to knock off some rust.

"I think he needs work - he's a little rusty," Parcells said. "That's OK, he's always been a player who needs work, but he will work. His heart is in the right spot.

"He just needs to go play. He needs work."



If Johnson is priority 1A at wide receiver, then 1B has to be Bryant, who last seen was being escorted out of the team's closed practice last month after the well-documented blowup with Parcells. Bryant is just 23 years old, and has been seen as the team's future at wide receiver.

Well, it's time for some of that future to show up. Now. Bryant, the former second-round pick and Biletnikoff winner at Pittsburgh, did not have the type of season last year that was expected after a highly-encouraging 44-catch, six-touchdown rookie year when he averaged 16.7 yards per catch.

But Bryant fell off last year, pulling in 39 catches for 550 yards and just two touchdowns. More than his numbers, though, Bryant had too many drops and too many times was either bumped off routes or didn't run his routes precisely.

At 6-1, and now nearly 200 pounds after adding some weight in the off-season, Bryant has the potential to be the Cowboys' all-around receiver - big enough to go over the middle, but with enough speed to also go deep. Ideally, the starters would be Johnson and Bryant, with the 30-year-old Glenn coming in as the third receiver.

Because once the Cowboys get by Johnson, Bryant and Glenn, there isn't much to talk about at wide receiver even though they picked up veteran Dedric Ward last month. Ward, no more than a backup and possible third-down receiver, is recovering from surgery to repair a broken bone in his foot. He might miss the first week of training camp.

After those four, Zuriel Smith and Cedric James are the only other receivers on the roster with NFL receptions. Smith had three during his rookie season last year, but he's still considered mostly a return specialist. James, on the practice squad all last year, had one for the Vikings playing in five games in 2002. And that's it.

While Randal Williams has been a project his first three seasons in the NFL, he still hasn't caught his first NFL pass. But with his speed and size (6-3, 220), he could become a real find if he develops. And chances are, knowing Parcells, this must be his season to step up if given the opportunity.

Then after that, the only other receivers on this roster are a cluster of rookies, mostly free agents who will have to make an impression on special teams to buy themselves some time to develop at wide receiver: Patrick Crayton, Terrance Copper, Brandon Middleton and James Newson.

So it becomes quite obvious after taking a look at this bunch of receivers that Johnson must rise to the top and become the leader, not only in the locker room and on the field, but on the stats page, too, if this Cowboys' offense is to improve on last year's 18-point average.

If not, then some youngster better grow up in a hurry.

(Next: Running Back)

FITTING IN

Keyshawn Johnson: Must live up to reputation and become the lead dog as advertised if this offense is to improve.

Terry Glenn: Was the team's best receiver last year, and will be invaluable if he's the team's second or third guy.

Antonio Bryant: Needs to have breakout year, but first might need to break out of Parcells' "hotel." If he does, will be lead receiver of future.

Dedric Ward: A nice utility receiver/possible return guy, but must recover first from broken bone in foot. But not a viable option to replace Bryant. No way.

Randal Williams: Valuable special teams player, but time to put up at wide receiver. Would be like an extra high pick if he jumps to the forefront.

Zuriel Smith: Made team last year as return specialist, but wasn't so special by end of season. Must be this summer, because won't make team on wide receiver skills.

Cedric James: Could be the sleeper in this group. A former fourth-round pick stashed on practice squad last year. Keep an eye on him.

Patrick Crayton: Must be a successful special teams guy to buy time to develop at wide receiver. Seventh-round pick could become newest return specialist.

James Newson: Valuable receiver at Oregon State, but lack of speed kept him from being drafted. Hands must be rookie free-agent's meal ticket.

Terrance Copper: Another rookie free-agent receiver who first must make his mark as a return specialist if he is to find a spot on roster or practice squad.

Brandon Middleton: Yet another rookie free agent in the same boat. Special teams ability will be his key to survival.

Hey Saladin, thanks for the repost buddy.

Like I really needed to read that twice. :mad:

[Jimz31]

My biggest hopes at the WR position outside of AB would be Randall Williams.....I just don't see why we left him on the bench last year when he had the best TC out of the whole team. Sure, it's TC, but the guy has the speed to stretch a defense better than anybody else on our team.

If we were down by a couple of points with not much time left, I would love to see him running down the field blowing past his defender.

I realize that he didn't look too good 2 years ago.....but that WAS two years ago.

I'm with you there...Big RW fan here too. I've heard his hands have really improved and his problem is route running and getting off the line of scrimage (don't know why, he has good size).

With the new rule enforrcement of no bumping after 5 yards by the CB's...this could be a huge breakout year for RW.

[Hollywood Henderson]

Our WR's won't reach their potential until we get a reliable QB to play....Vinny can hit open receivers...I do think he easily wins the job after preseason shows again that Carter is a very erratic passer...at best...

Key should be what this team needs, but we do need AB and R.Williams to be able to make plays as well...

I'm on board too. I've always liked Randall Williams, he has all the tools. I was very disappointed last year in the New England game. Galloway was hurt and Parcells chose to put Zuriel Smith in the game over Randall Williams.

Randal Williams is really only lacking two things, experience and confidence.

If Williams ever understands how physical he can be and that he won't get called for it, he will become a match-up problem.

It's a mental barrier he has to break through on the field.

Williams needs to stop playing timid and assert himself.

Hopefully, the staff has a specific role designed for Williams and he'll get a lot of reps during pre-season to show what he can do.

I will defer to those of you have been watching Williams for the past few years.

I saw too little of him last year to draw any fnal conclusions, but my first reaction to seeing him on field or in practice segmnets on Hard Knocks was this guy ain't no receiver.

Reductionist as the argument sounds, he just doesn't seem to move like a receiver, not in fluidity, body position, hip movement, body control, and re-positioning.

I hope it IS a confidence issue, but I suspect it's a more physical one....

I didn't think Randal Williams had any shot at making the team last year.

He was a stiff who couldn't run routes and who possessed bad hands.

Williams shocked me and made the team.

He looked a lot quicker in his routes and reports indicated his hands were better in practice.

Williams caught 7 passes for 148 yards, a 21.3 yd avg, and a long of 60 yards for a touchdown.

The 60 yard touchdown was a beautiful adjustment and jump to snag a Romo pass that he took all the way.

I like the idea of having a tall receiver (6-3) on deep routes who will adjust and elevate when necessary to come down with the ball.

It should greatly increase the chances for a completion or defensive interference, IMO.

Last year's group, even with their speed advantage, just didn't go after deep passes the way I wanted and they rarely drew flags.

Someone needs to change that.

Keyshawn Johnson will bring a much needed physical dimension to the short and intermediate passing game, but he isn't a field stretcher.

If Keesh logs a 40 yard play (avgs 1 per season), it will come after the catch in RAC yardage.

The Cowboys need a guy to be a threat downfield and on jump balls.

Randal Williams is the best choice at this time.

[Chief]

but my first reaction to seeing him on field or in practice segmnets on Hard Knocks was this guy ain't no receiver...

Give the lady a gold star. Your first reaction was right on.

You can flush his 40 speed and his other measurables down the toilet.

Like Ebenezer Ekuban, the guy is an athlete .... but not necessarily a good football player.

The less tangible skills that make players great are too often overlooked.

Drew Pearson was about 175 pounds and ran about a 4.6, but he's 10 times the receiver that Randal could ever hope to be.

When you look at this group of receivers, it's like scanning a field full of land mines .... you have guys that are up there in age, guys with behavior problems, a guy that will be hard-pressed to stay healthy, a tease and some inexperienced camp fodder.

If everything goes right, they'll be OK. But there are just so many things that could go wrong with this group.

[ChrisFul]

What, i ask, what are you going to do when we exit preseason as with Carter as the 1st team QB, like everyone else in the world seems to expect but you? Please don't do anything drastic.

Somehow, I knew this thread on Wide Receivers was gonna turn into more opportunities to bach QC. Nothing changes.

I disagree, and I know this comparison is over the top, but to me he moves like Terrell Owens. When I say that he has all the tools, we are talking about a player who has both size (6'3) and speed (4.4s 40, easily the fastest player on the team with Galloway gone).

Just imagine that for a second, this is a receiver who is as tall as Terrell Owens or Keyshawn Johnson but is faster than Joey Galloway. In the pre-season, we have all seen him make circus catches. His potential leaves you drooling.

I really hope the missing piece is mental. That can be corrected by the coaches. Hopefully this will be his break-out year.

Randal Williams is the best choice at this time.

I love the kid's profile. UNH, double major in Spanish and I think business. I know he studied Spanish abroad, regional academic all-team, and did considerable community volunteer work while in New Hampshire. From what I've been told, he was a kid who was a "giver-back", before any NFL charity bureaucrat told him it was cool to do so. Last summer, when he missed a few practices to be with his wife when she gave birth, I knew he was a kid who "gets it". This young man has a future whatever he does.

I understand he has improved both his catching and route running, Yeah, he could and should be a factor on Hail Mary's and assorted jump balls, and if he can actually separate, (which I doubt), his speed could be a major factor. But just as that wonderful article on Bob Hayes maintained Hayes was an elite track star, but was also always "a fooball player", Williams looks to me like a superb athlete, with the best size-speed ratio on the receiving corps, but not a receiver.

He IS a football player, and that heads up play on the onside kick last year was proof enough to me that he can be one of Tuna's Special Teams Aces. His smarts translate to the field. If a guy excels on specials, he does have a chance of hanging around under Bill. Can't hold onto too many just for specials, but Bill let "hang around" Ray Lucas, erstwhile QB, for three years in NE and NY just because Ray Ray was a ST ace.

I like a tall receiver who can leap and adjust too, but adjusting is just what I think this kid can't do. But I'm no pro scout, just an observer. It was Bill's ex assistant Tom Coughlin who first signed Randal in Jacksonville, I believe, and so far, there has always been enough athleticism and overall talent to make this player stick around.

But how much you can coach the agility, reflexes, quickness as opposed to speed, body control, and flexibility of a receiver into an otherwise fine athlete I do not know. Does anyone, for example. envision this kid actually becoming a second or even viable third receiver?

It's four years now, isn't it? And it isn't the time frame that usually haunts receivers - the three years to really learn the defenses and patterns and routes. It's four years to just LOOK like a receiver.

I wish Antonio Bryant's particular physiological gifts could be wished into William's frame. That would be "justice." But the resident jerk is a receiver, and the resident class act just doesn't look like one.

[Chocolate Lab]

Herms' quote was exactly what I was going to highlight, Chief...

The man has no cutting ability, seeming no feel for the game, and lousy hands. As fast as he is, he's not quick and has trouble changing directions. I've heard him admit that about himself on the radio.

I've never been a Ra. Williams basher, but that's because I never expected him to ever contribute as a wide receiver. He's an excellent special teams player, and there's nothing wrong with that.

I agree however for Williams to make the team this year I think he has to show that he can be a offensive weapon because there are too many guys on this team now with great abilities in the return game

I don't agree that he has bad hands. He has dropped some very catchable balls but has also made some great catches (though only in camp and in the pre-season).

I am very excited for Randall's potential, and I really hope that he gets a shot to contribute this year.

[LaTunaNostra]

Wish I could see that comparison, The Skaven. And again, it could very well be I just haven't seen enough of Randal.

But some attributes of TO I haven't seen a glimmer of (yet) in Williams are full stride speed rather than track or sprint speed, (without it you can't separate no matter how fast you are, and you end up on the turf from minor contact), the kind of agilty that lets a wide out turn his hips and position his hands to snare a ball that is not perfectly placed, and the agilty to catch in a crowded field as defenders are closing in. TO might look like a hulking dufus, but he has considerable agility, which is why he's a great wco receiver.

There is a lot to the receiver that has to do with vision too, the ability to isolate the ball and focus just on it. Randal will have to perfect that as well.

Hey, I hope you're right. Williams is an easy player to like.

So let me leave off on him now, and wish him luck.

[Bluefin]

If Williams again progresses as he did last year during camp, he should be able to carve out a role on offense.

It's showtime, I don't think Williams will stick this year without earning a role on offense even with his signing bonus and special teams ability.

He needs to become a receiver.

Here's what resident Cowboy homer Michael Irvin had to say recently about Williams, the full story is back a few pages.

When asked about Randall Williams, he said that he is a big impressive looking guy, and that he has all the physical abilities/qualities needed - he just lacks confidence. He said he just needs to go over the middle to catch a ball and just get the tar knocked out of him and realize "hey that wasn't so bad!, It didn't kill me!" and make that next step to mental toughness. He basically says that's all he lacks.

That's pretty much how I feel about Williams.

He just needs to let loose on the field and start playing the game.

If he starts playing with confidence and learns officials will usually let him man handle defensive backs, he can make an impact, IMO.

The man has no cutting ability, seeming no feel for the game, and lousy hands. As fast as he is, he's not quick and has trouble changing directions. I've heard him admit that about himself on the radio.

That's exactly how I felt about Williams before last year's camp.

And I felt he made strides in every area in what little I saw of him.

And he needs to make similar strides this camp if he is to earn a regular role on offense.

I've never been a Ra. Williams basher, but that's because I never expected him to ever contribute as a wide receiver. He's an excellent special teams player, and there's nothing wrong with that.

I don't know why anyone would want to bash Williams.

He's come a long way from New Hampshire where he was basically an extension of the offensive line.

And there's nothing wrong with being a special teams performer.

However, I don't think the Cowboys would've covered their bases by signing Williams to a two year contract as an exclusive rights free agent to keep him out of unrestricted free agency next year if all they envisioned from him was covering kicks this year.

I hope he comes through.

I agree totally LaTuna. I would have loved to see the cowboys bulk Williams up about 25-30 pounds, and make him the fastest H-back/TE in the league 3 years ago.

[junk]

The most telling thing for me was that Zuriel Smith was getting in the game at WR and RW wasn't.

[Sarge]

When you look at this group of receivers, it's like scanning a field full of land mines .... you have guys that are up there in age, guys with behavior problems, a guy that will be hard-pressed to stay healthy, a tease and some inexperienced camp fodder.

If everything goes right, they'll be OK. But there are just so many things that could go wrong with this group.

So very true. It is a group that will need to be addressed, ultimately. Way too many question marks which is one of the main reasons I want to see AB stay here.

WR is hardly a strong point of this team.
