Tim MacMahon E-mail News tips
T.O. is lobbying for a wide receiver to get more passes, but this isn't the same old story. He's politicking for Roy Williams to be more involved in the Cowboys' passing game.
T.O. cut off a question about Williams, saying he could understand why his fellow receiver is frustrated. T.O. can't understand why Williams, who has 17 catches for 194 yards and a TD in nine games since being traded from Detroit, hasn't played a larger role with the Cowboys.
"If you bring a guy over here and you pay him that much money, you want [him] to be involved," T.O. said. "He has a lot of talent. Otherwise, he wouldn't be here. I'm not saying that in a negative way. I'm saying that because I know he can help the team. Once we figure out a way we can get him more involved and he can help this offense, the better off we'll be."
T.O. dismissed the notion that it's difficult for a receiver to find his role after arriving in the middle of the season. He figures Williams has been around Valley Ranch long enough to make an impact.
"You give him a grace period - you know, two weeks or so," T.O. said. "But I think he's been around now to be more involved and be in tune and run all the routes we have in this offense. I'm looking forward to having him really just be a part of this offense and let us be explosive the way I know we can be."
Williams motioned to the sideline after fighting for a first down in the fourth quarter of the loss to the Ravens. He twirled his index finger as if to say, "Keep it coming."
Williams, who had a career-high 204 yards in the Lions' loss last season to the Eagles, said the Cowboys wouldn't have traded for him in the middle of the season if they didn't think he could help this team this season. He's eager for the opportunity.
"I've got the offense down," Williams said today. "Just waiting."
