10/16 Jerry Jones Show
Q: How do you see the impact of wide receiver Roy Williams now that a year has passed since the trade with fans still waiting for a breakout game with the Cowboys?
Jerry: Roy's addition allowed them to make a decision with Terrell Owens they might not have been able to do otherwise. Jerry said he was very happy to have used a 1 and 3 along with swapping late rounders to acquire Williams. Jerry said we have been able to hit the ground running with an experienced receiver with the same picks we would've used to draft one.
Roy was the first one in for the off-season program and a hard worker and will be here for many years to come.
Q: Is there any scenario in Jerry's wildest imagination where Terrell Owens could return to the team with rumblings coming out of Buffalo about him possibly being available for trade?
Jerry: "No."
Especially with the game Miles Austin had last week, we know the direction we're trying to go and Roy Williams has been playing extremely well. He hasn't had a 200 yard game yet, but he's capable of it and I expect him more involved as the season progresses.
So with Roy, Miles and Kevin Ogletree coming on...any time you talk about theses receivers you have to speak to Ogletree, number 85. He's got a great chance as the year goes along to make a bigger contribution. He can really separate and could be quite a compliment to what we're trying to do with our receiver core.
Sam Hurd had a great training camp and he's got a chance, Tony Romo has a lot of confidence in him. Patrick Crayton gives us another receiver, too. We're in good shape at receiver.
Q: Jerry is asked about the Randy Galloway article about not drafting wideouts while prioritizing the tight end position. Why have we passed on so many receivers?
Jerry: Ideally you would like to have the offense based around your tight ends and that fullback also plays a role. If you are lucky enough to have Daryl Johnston, you can back off the tight end position, but the second tight end often does the fullback's job when on the field.
Having two tight ends gives the offense greater flexability and the defense more headaches.
Anthony Fasano is playing better in Miami than I thought he would and better than he did here.
Jerry talks about Bill Parcells being quite a tight end advocate and sometimes trying to pinpoint one he'd like in the 2nd or 3rd. If it didn't happen, you'd think the entire draft blew up in our face.
Have we identified certain wideouts we'd like only to see them go before where we wanted them like Steve Smith, Mohammed Masoquai and Brian Robiskie?
The issue with receiver is it usually takes 2-3 years before he develops and makes an impact. We knew Roy Williams was ready to go and would provide immediate benefits, he paid the price of learning with Detroit.
It really isn't a case of not being sold on drafting a receiver as it is how long it takes to develop and when they can make an impact. You just don't see many receivers come in and help right away.
Work ethic is a premier thing in Jerry's mind when it comes to wideouts, especially with his history watching Michael Irvin and Terrell Owens. Most just think about a player's talent, being able to catch the ball, and their ability to run.
But work ethic is such a criteria.
Q: Flozell Adams seems to have false start after false start and is it as maddening to you as it is to fans?
Jerry: It comes with the position, playing out in space on the end of the line. Flozell has had more than others, but his plusses make up for the minuses. Adams is very prideful and becomes very frustrated to him when he has the penalties.
Q: The Alan Ball hit, is the "strike zone shrinking?"
Jerry: I've already talked about not trying to coach the aggressiveness out of Ball, it's football and you want to make them pay coming over the middle. But we do want to avoid injuries and it's a tough thing to call. I was surprised to see Ball get fined $5,000.
Q: I've asked you about ken Hamlin, he was a Pro Bowl player the first year, got a big contract and regressed. I haven't seen any improvement, have you?
Jerry: Well, he's our QB back there doing a lot of things that aren't visible, making all the calls, lining up and adjustments.That's always been one of his biggest assets. We know that he is a very physical player and can be a very physical player and I think as the season goes...
Q: Jerry, let me stop you right there because we've seen Hamlin this year with some serios missed tackles. On the Brandon Marshall touchdown, the Mushin Muhammed touchdown that was called back, he tried to launch himself and just totally whiffed.
Jerry: Yeah, I've seen him miss some tackles as well, but I'm still saying he's a physical player. He's been missing them since his sophomore year in college, but the bottom line is as our defense goes along I expect to see individual play and team play improve as the season moves along and I think we will be a better team than we have been.
Q: General thoughts on heading into the bye week at 3-2? Obviously some areas need improvement and fans are tired of hearing Wade Phillips say, "it's a work in progress." What are your general thoughts on the direction of the team and where you are going into the bye?
Jerry: I think we're gonna get better. As for a work in progress, your arrow is either going up or it's going down, you're never standing still in any of this. I like where our bye is, we needed it this week with some starters not expected to play. I have a lot of confidence in Wade Phillips as head coach and defensively. We have the number one offense in the NFL, we need to get the ball in better field position.
We have had the worst starting ball position in the entire NFL. We can and will improve on that. I like Rossum, by the way, I think he gives us something that is an exceptional opportunity to help our team.

Jerry, still a *******. The same old 'it takes 2-3 years' excuse. How many other positions have we drafted over the years where it took the player 2-3 years, or never, to develop? And we've all seen WR's make an impact as rookies.
God if we only had a real GM.

The first thing I noted was that Jerry Jones didn't answer the question about possibly targeting certain receivers (Greg Jennings in '06) only to have them go before where we could get them.
The point about most wideouts needing time to develop is correct.
But obviously we have selected the position in priority rounds before and we will do it again in the future.
As long as you don't have a huge need for the immediate future, I don't mind looking for the position later on in the draft or thereafter.
Miles Austin need three years to learn enough to be ready to contribute and he's now healthy and getting his chance. Kevin Ogletree doesn't need to be put on layaway, he may see time later this year and almost assuredly next.
Sometimes those higher round picks are under so much pressure to produce right away, they just aren't allowed to develop at a pace that is natural for them.

Not many players at any position are going to start from day one. If we neglected every position that we felt a player needed time to develop then we wouldn't ever draft anyone.
As for selecting WR's in prority rounds, we've only taken a WR in the first two rounds once in the last 15 years, since Jimmy left. That was back in 2002 when we took Antonio Bryant in the 2nd round. Prior to that it was Kevin Williams in the 2nd round in 1993, 16 years ago.
And, the last time we selected a WR in the first round was in '91 when we took Alvin Harper, which happened to be Jimmy Johnson's 3rd year in Dallas.
So, since Jimmy left following the '93 season, we have yet to take a WR in the first round and have only drafted a receiver in the 2nd round once.
In the five drafts that Jimmy Johnson was here for we selected 4 WR's in the first 2 rounds: Alexander Wright (2nd), Alvin Harper (1st), Jimmy Smith (2nd) and Kevin Williams (2nd).
I think I'd take Jimmy's philosophy over Jerry's any day.
