Jerry Jones has Roy Williams' back

Earlier today Roy Williams said he wasn't sure Jason Garrett or Tony Romo had much confidence in him with some drops the last few weeks in big situations.

Williams did not blame them, saying he brought the issue on himself, which is better than the answer he gave last week after a drop.

But if Williams is looking for a person for support he can look to Jerry Jones. Jones said he is not frustrated with Williams or the production since making the trade with Detroit.

"I don't believe that is the case at all," Jones said. "On a personal basis and professional basis, I have not [lost confidence]. I know the kinds of plays he is capable of making and can make. I think we will see those as we go into Philadelphia and the playoffs."

Then why hasn't it happened yet?

"If we all knew about how to correct areas of criticism, then we'd be geniuses," Jones said. "But I think he's made some big plays. I think we'll continue to give him the opportunity to make plays. He'll be on the field."

Am I missing something or is Joe just confused again?

It's easy to see that Jerry still has confidence in a player almost exclusively because of - 1.) Trade Value, 2.) earlier performances in his career and 3.) excelling at Practice plus early on this Pre-Season.



Meanwhile OTree has the potential to easily trump any fall out from the Roy Williams trade debacle for a #1 WR. There is a place for Roy, it's called the 4th WR spot.

Well, the "He'll be on the field" part might make some of the O-Tree fans upset, but Jerry said exactly what he should say in response to such a question.

 

[Vegas_Cowboy]

So. The owner is showing confidence in his #1 WR who is struggling. What's so "big mouth" about that??

 

[bbgun]

Phony GM endorses disastrous trade that he authorized. I'm reeling from the shock.

 

[Hypnotoad]

Owner says he likes his player.

THE OUTRAGE

I guessed I missed something, because I didnt see anything wrong with what Jerry said.

umm yes? There is nothing wrong with what he said at all. Let alone enough to garner your title "Jerry opens his big mouth again!!"

So as I asked before are you confused?

I still am not getting what you are trying to say here. Jerry said he has not lost confidence in Roy and that Roy is capable of making big plays. He then says that he thinks we will see those (the big plays) as we go into the Philly game and into the playoffs.

Maybe you could criticize Jerry for being overly confident about Roy, but I find nothing at all wrong with what he said and I have no idea how you came to the conclusion that "Jerry openned his big mouth again".

I just dont see your point.

No, again, sometimes I am posting like 4-5 things and i just glanced at them, I was going by the statement that the writer made on the title where jerry jones backs roy williams. My point being, roy williams said that his family has been getting on him, along with him not getting balls in the 2nd half and that roy needed to get back to working on the juggs machine to catch balls more cleanly etc.

So, roy williams was admitting that he needed to get confidence back in jason garrett and tony romo because balls werent being thrown to him in 2nd half last 2 games.

So, roy williams was being accountable, jerry jones to me just needed to let that be and let roy williams work like he should to improve.

Fixing The Problem
Roy Williams Vows To Eliminate Drops; Regain QB's Trust

Williams has just 38 catches this season, but has scored seven touchdowns.

IRVING, Texas - Like he's done all season long, Roy Williams spent the majority of the locker-room period Wednesday pointing the finger.

Once again, it was aimed right back at himself.

Williams knows there is a problem with his production. He knows he's the reason for it. But he also aims to fix it.

"I have to take my game to another level. It starts this Sunday," said Williams who has been rather inconsistent this season, with just 38 catches. "This is pretty much a playoff game for this football team. Hopefully, I can win back the confidence of my peers, my fans and even my family - they've been getting on me hard. I have to get these people off me. The only way I can do that is to play my game."

His game, obviously because of the position he plays, relies on him catching the football. That's been a surprising disappointment for Williams, who admits his recent struggles, but still has high confidence for that area of his game.

"It's just not working right now," Williams said. I still feel like I have the best hands in the league - top three at least. Today, I'm going to get back on the Juggs (machine), and get back to fundamentals. Hopefully it will pay off on Sunday."

Williams had a critical drop before halftime in Sunday's win over the Commanders, and has dropped other key passes in games this season. It's gotten so bad that even his mother has noticed.

But Williams, who said he will catch 100 passes a day after each practice this week, doesn't back down from his comments that he considers himself having among the best hands in the league.

"I believe it in my heart. But my mom told me that they said I lead the league in drops," Williams said. "I would've bet a whole game check that my name never would ever be in that sentence. But it is this year. I can't take things for granted. I can't take my hands for granted. I have to look the ball in and do the things I'm supposed to do. Once that gets going again, it will be a snowball effect and Roy will be back."

While Williams said his confidence in himself hasn't wavered, he's not sure about his quarterback Tony Romo's confidence in the wide receiver. However, if that indeed is the case, Williams said he would only blame himself.

"You know I have to get the confidence of my quarterback, because I didn't get a look after the first half," Williams said, referring to the Washington game. "I didn't get a look in the second half. That's telling me that my quarterback has lost confidence in me, and so has the coordinator as far as calling plays for me.

"That's not on them. I don't blame them. I blame myself. I've got to get my crap together and try to ride this thing and help us get into the playoffs."

Much of the criticism directed at Williams stems from his five-year, $45 million contract he signed last season after being traded from the Lions. Williams was expected to be the No. 1 receiver, but that role has clearly gone to Miles Austin, who has emerged as not only the go-to player on this offense, but one of the best in the league. Austin has exploded on the scene with 74 catches, 1,230 yards and 11 touchdowns, despite not starting the first four games.

Austin was rewarded on Tuesday with his first trip to the Pro Bowl. Meanwhile, Williams' numbers have suffered, catching just 38 passes for 596 yards, although he does have seven touchdowns.

Like all receivers, Williams wants more opportunities. But first, he knows he must make the most of the ones he's getting.

"If I make the opportunities in my favor, make the plays, make the three or four plays a game, then that will relate to maybe five the next game," said Williams. "Make those and that relates to eight or nine the next game. Then, boom, there we go."

And if not . . . Williams knows his job, at least as a starter, is in jeopardy.

"If I continue to do the things that I've been doing," Williams said. "…Then I'm going to mess around and be on the sideline, playing special teams."



thats the point i was trying to make;

havent we all wanted the players to be accoutable, like when tony romo took the blame for a loss in a game awhile back. Then let the players stand up and be accountable so they correct those problmes.

All I see is an owner saying he hasn't lost confidence in one of his players and trying to boost his spirits a little right before the playoff run. The nerve of that Jerry.

This is a misleading title - got me nervous for nutthin.
