He already cleared the OTA's he was missing with Wade and company ahead of time. You guys need to keep up.

Exactly.

Approved or not, who needs practice to get better? Four to five months to schedule a vacation? What better time to schedule than during team activities!

As we all know, Roy, of all of our players, has no need for OTAs, because as we all know he led the team in solo tackles.

Practice, schmatice...let's sign Roy to an extension!

Fresh off the presses from last week.

"He works out all the time, he does it when he can," Stewart said. "And this is the offseason. It's not mandatory. We like for guys to be here, but it's not mandatory. He has a lot of things he does for the community and I praise him for that.

"He will miss and has missed some things, but so have other guys."

if im not mistaken when marcus spears was on, maybe theebs or hostile can put up the podcast, but spears was saying something like after asked about how the cowboys are really hungry

spears said something like yes, we all are, then he caught himself and said somehting like most of us are real hungry and we want to go further and we know what we have to do to get back to the playoffs to being better, etc

i think when spears caught himself, he was including roy williams being one of the players that didnt really care about beign in playoffs and not being really hungry to win in the playoffs etc

i think the missing OTAs right after the 2 coaches had to sit down with roy after he bashed the fans, and his missing the 2 OTAs, but not he will miss OTAs this week and maybe OTAs next week

now he is going on vacation, get fat and lazy again, then he will try to go on a crash diet again, but not be in football shape,

i dont see how anyone can defend him now,

:zipit:

Oh look! It's another thread with the usual suspects patting themselves on the back for their sweet one-liners while group hugging. How sweet.

What is the over/under on ironically lame "myth" usage in this thread? 75?

yes he missed 2 OTAs last week or so,

to me, he is saying, i am only interested in me,

i want you the cowboys to design plays for me to be a great player, forget about winning, i just want to be a great player

i dont have to come in and work hard like other players, im special

forget the fans, im the great roy williams,

I don't see how he missed two OTAs last week when OTAs didn't start until today.

From Nick Eatman of DC.com about today's signings:

On a day that was supposed to only signal the start of OTA practices here at Valley Ranch,

So, the OTAs he is missing are the ones he's already told the team he would miss.

I understand that a lot of people are down on Roy right now, but man, we're really looking to criticize him for every move he makes.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

RW quit eating bisquits.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Wasnt it reported last week he would miss OTAs?

He already cleared the OTA's he was missing with Wade and company ahead of time. You guys need to keep up.

yes, it was

people act like this is totally absurd and that nobody ever misses a day, and that isnt true

(doing my best Drew Rosenhaus)

Next question!

 

[Idgit]

Obviously, nothing to see here.

Do you have PROOF (i.e. stats) that he missed (or will miss) the OTAs?

If not, then it's just another myth instituted by stupid mediots who know nothing about Roy or are just hating on Roy.

Reading quickly, I mistook this for a rational post. Then I realized it was just another post in support of rumormongering.

 

[jrumann59]

Where are the TO bashers he is only here on the thowing sessions, that cancer!!!

 

[fan62]

I understand that Wade cleared him from the OTA's this week, but it still bothers me that a player has 3 months to take his vacation but CHOSES to take his vacation the first week of OTA's. He did not skip OTA's last week but was called in by the coaches after he missed 2 meetings that were held and the speculation from the radio show.

I am sure the coaches probed him about his attitude. I hope it helped.

If it had been me, I probably would have rescheduled my vacation after my boss questioned my attitude.
There are still a few weeks before TC where he could have taken his vacation and would not miss anything.

These OTA's give him the best chance to learn from the new coaches, but he CHOSES to not attend, probably the most important part days of the OTA, where they set down the basics.

I CHOSE to believe that RW has a bad attitude towards this team and his teammates. I certainly hope I am wrong, and that he proves himself again.

We will see!

Come on man, lighten up.

no its not rumor posting, it was stated on today by todd archer that roy williams missed OTAs today on the david smoak sports talk that roy missed OTAs today because he scheduled a vacation this week, not sure how long his vacation is

as far as missing 2 previous OTAs, all i know is, it was brought up that he did miss 2 previous OTAs because he attended his charity events, and roy best to my knowledge apologized for that;

i dont know what 2 OTAs he missed but he did miss 2, even jenn floyd engel of star telegraph touched on this subject when he missed the 2 OTAs, because he was at a charity function

jenn said basically something like this, romo has functions that he goes too, but he attends all meetings, and then some, but romo does football first

its like jenn said, roy willliams has this money now to do functions because of what he does play for the cowboys, but he should take football first, that it was all nice what he was doing for single moms etc, but football should come first

what im saying if this is all true, and it has been posted and documented, about roy, to me, he is coming up with excuse after excuse for not working out and missing OTAs,

thats what I am saying, to me, he puts his charity stuff, life before football, football second, and it shows in the way he works out,

we all know last year, to get in shape he had to do a diet weight program to get in shape, and thats not football shape either, and his play to my thinking suffered,

again, its like jenn flloyd engel said, roy gets all of this big money for playing football, but seems like he doesnt have desire any more after he has gotten the big money or heart, that even the great head scout for the dallas cowboys said about roy, that to him it seemed like roy didnt have that desire anymore and that roy didnt want to get hurt, because he would lose the money nor work out, something like that;

then if you listen and read what coaches are saying about roy, that he doesnt work out hard or study etc, and even stewart said, we cant compromise the cowboys for one player, sooner or later he has got to play what we call and be ready

you cant keep making excuse after excuse, and not look in the mirror, im talking about roy, to me, its put up or shut up time for roy, pointblank

and when a player says oh its hard to cover a wr or te, geez

even our previous great safeties darren woodson, charley waters, cliff harris, and mike downs had to cover wrs and tes,

to me, roy is disgracing our previous great safeties,

even all pro og nate newton said, and he lknows football having played it, he said what roy should do to get his confidence back is start covering wrs in practice, thats what jimmy johnson make darren woodson do;

sure darrren woodson got beat now and then, but he praticed hard and worked out hard, thats to me is it in a nut shell, roy williams doesnt want to work out anymore and pay the price

 

[fan62]

This will answer the questions of when this came out. And by the way he missed 2 training sessions - not OTA's , and he was expected to attend.


OTA stuff

7:35 PM Tue, May 20, 2008
Todd Archer

Today was the first day of organized team activities, and as Albert talked about here, making a big deal about who isn't around is not going to run this blog.

As expected Ken Hamlin was not in attendance but he wasn't expected to be there. And Roy Williams is on a vacation with his family, which if you're an avid reader of this blog, you already knew about that from Calvin back on Mother's Day.

Several players talked about liking what they saw, including newly re-signed Terence Newman, who said, "We've got a lot of talent on both sides of the ball," following the first workout of the year that had offensive and defensive players working against each other.

 

[cowboyjoe]

hmmmmmmmm, well why did todd archer say today that roy williams missed OTA today

seems like to me, he should have known that roy had excused absence from wade and the cowboys

but yet, at same time, roy is missing valuable time working out with the cowboys, remember now he says maybe this defense isnt meant for me,

heck how can it be meant for you when you miss OTAs, granted their not mandatory; but i look at it like Jimmy Johnson would say and so would Parcells dont miss any of my OTAs, or you wont be here;

i just find it really sad when roy has already missed 2 OTAs, and now he schedules his vacation during OTAs, that to me doesnt sound good and like your heart is in football,

but again, when i am wrong, i admit it, so i was wrong, i didnt know that he was or gotten permission to miss these OTAs,

 

[Idgit]

Come on man, lighten up.

I kid, I kid.

Yeah. My tone was more condescending than I intended there. I know you were kidding. And I really did mistake it for a rational post.

 

[Da Hammer]

i havent been on for a couple days and i see the RW circus is still alive and strong. gotta admit i love them because they are very entertaining with both sides the blind supporters and blind haters making fulls of themselves. ah anyways my opinion is that im with the people that believe that the team would be better off without him but its not blind hate.

 

[cowboyjoe]

im kinda half and half, i loved roy when we drafted him and he was playing alongside darren woodson;

but the more and more i read, and its just not one source but multiple media sources, that the cowboys have to beg roy to come in and work out;

you shouldnt have to ask that of your star player, period

i honestly wished that he would get his act in gear, really look at himself, and bust his butt to be the player he was the first couple of years

but if not, i look at it this way; and i believe this; the good Lord like he says;
he builds principalaties, powers, kingdoms, dynasties, maybe he knows if we need Roy or not,

let the Lord work it out, he knows best and go from there,

but it sure does bother me when a safety says its hard to cover wrs and te's,, but your being paid mega bucks to work out, stay in shape, care about your teammates, be a leader, at 6.75 million in contract this year best i remember, but he says things like that, its hard to cover,

but seems like he doesnt think he has to work out and study, i have a problem with that, to me, i look at it this way

roy said he had dreamed of his life to always be a dallas cowboy;

so, a player should want to be the best, how do you be the best, you work out, stay in tip top shape, study film, practice late, helping your teammates too,

thats what i have a problem with roy, does he have desire and heart to be the best anymore? i just dont know, but doesnt seem like he doesnt, i dont mind if he proves me wrong, thats ok, ive been wrong before,

whatever it would take for roy to get his gear in motion, then do it, but if he doesnt want to, then something is wrong,
