Curious if anyone else saw it and had any reaction? Looks like the heat is really bad at their facility in Carrolton - Roy Williams was sweating a ton and there was a shot of Marion Barber drinking some hose-water in the background :)

But of course Werder threw in a one-liner at the end to try and stir controversy, saying that a former member of the staff told him that "Owens pushed Williams in practice, so that without Terrell Owens you have a Roy Williams problem."

Based on Roy's comments in the video, though, it seems like they're trying to learn eachother's strengths and get on the same page. Jason Witten also chimed in, reminding reporters that it's a team effort and not just one person, and that the offense has to succeed as a unit.

Just wow.

BTW, it is super hot lately and it only seems worse on that fake turf. So all the people who have wanted conditions to be tougher are getting their wish, at least in minicamps.

He (Roy) said on camera he complained to Romo and let him know.

" I let him know today, I was frustrated coming across the middle by myself. That what we are supposed to do - his job is to deliver the ball and my job is to catch it and get open. That how you win."

Did not seem like animosity but more to urge Tony to connect on the play. As far a pushing, I think T.O. did push and urge people - something that still needs on be done on the team, hope the pushing does not let up!

Ed Werder needs to just cover Buffalo, he simply cannot stop talking about Owens.


And any guesses as to the unnamed "former staffer" who fed Werder that bit?

Bruce Read?

Brian Stewart? Not likely?

Doesnt matter. If they want to do a "TO" on Roy ie. making things seem they are not = THEY WILL. Roy needs to curb his words. This is not the first time he has said something that can be taken and used and abused in the media.

Lies! All lies!

But if he reports something positive, it's 100% true.

I still think Werder is forced to say crap like that b/c of ESPN.

well lets see we dumped 2 coaches and neither one of them was exactly in a position to really know much about Romo and Williams were they?

I dont know. I think he goes to management and shows his "Creative", "fabrications" and they co-sign and say "attaboy"

Co-signed.
I would just be suprised if he is not very successful for us.

The guy is TOP SHELF.

Wow, just by looking at Roy's stats, we can see that T.O. must have pushed R.W. the wrong way.

So its controversy to say that the horrible teammate pushed one of his teammates in practice to be better? Learn something new everyday on this board.

And yet, Roy put his worst numbers ever while playing for the Boys last season... way to push him, TO...

I'm starting to think that Werder has a homosexual jones for Owens...

Jerry really ought to put down a blanket gag order on Werder, make sure every employee knows that if you talk with him, you're fired...
