Well, I appreciate these stats and as someone else mentioned, Roy does a good job of run blocking, but I didn't say he's not playing well, I said he's not playing better. And he's not. He was the insurance policy to make TO expendable and so far it hasn't paid off.
The point of the stats is to contradict exactly that. Roy Williams has been playing just as well as any other receiver for the Cowboys, given the same opportunities.
TO ran himself out of town with his mouth, not because he was a primary receiver. Wanting to spread the ball around isn't grounds to get rid of a talent like that, it's simply a tactful way of saying we're tired of hearing it every time someone else gets more looks.
Yes and No. Yes, his mouth certainly played as big a part as anything else of him getting the boot, but No, it wasn't the only reason.
Do you think if Roy were not here, TO would have been gone this off-season?
Not this off-season, but certainly after this year. THE main reason why Roy Willams was acquired is because he was going to, eventually, take over T.O. Now, the plans for that didn't call for it to happen this soon, but this would have been T.O.'s last year in a Cowboys uniform, regardless of his mouth.
No matter what Roy is, was and can be, right now he's no better than Crayton, who everyone seems to think is chopped liver and Werder is correct in his general statements.
That's incorrect. Patrick Crayton, right now, is no better than 3rd receiver. That's always been his role. A slot guy who can get intermidate 1st downs, ala Kelvin Martin back in the day. Roy Williams is a legit #1 receiver who, simply, hasn't been given the opportunity to put up big stats.
You put them both in front of the 32 NFL headcoaches and all 32 would pick Roy Williams ahead of Crayton.
Maybe not yourself, but while fans scream about media bias, they completely ignore the fact that they engage in the exact same behavior they decry. Sorry, but Werder is talking facts about this team, in terms of coaching management and players.
The only accurate parts about Werder's piece is his name and his picture. Everything else is misconstrued dribbler that was disproved a few days ago by two guys who actually know what they're talking about because they lived it: Michael Irvin and Nate Newton.
The minute he insinuated that Roy Williams is " lazy " after many people in the organization have been repeating over and over again how hard he's been working since January, he lost whatever little credibility he had to begin with. And believe me, he didn't have much.
