I knew we were offering multiple picks, but I thought the 1st round pick was off the board. I guess Jerry though #32 is almost a 2nd anyway.

:grin:

No one we drafted in 2009 could help as much as Roy will in 2009. Haivng Crayton at #3 is a huge matchup problem for every Defense out there. Patrick Crayton just got more valuable to this Offense. The guy I feel for is Miles Austin. He could be the 3rd guy next year though. Tony really believes in him. He could actually beat Patrick for the 3rd spot.

No one will stop Witten now.
We're all in debt to you my friend.

Thanks. I'm a huge Trek fan, especially the old Trek despite it predating me by over a decade. When I first stumbled upon the poster in my sig, I laughed uproariously for a good ten minutes. The line is so true...of both the character and the actor playing him.:p:
I'm a big Trek fan myself and your sig says it all about Shatner. :D

If our QB's can't find an open receiver with RW, TO, Witten and Crayton on the field, someone needs to be fired.

For those of you worried about him picking up the offense...the 'fly' pattern is pretty straightforward. Randy Moss has made a pretty good career out of running it. Once Roy Williams gets settled in and we get Romo and Felix back...

Wow, I just realized my depression is lifting. Thanks Jerry.

Trust me, this guy can't wait to play here.

Wait until he is interviewed by the DFW press. His excitement is going to make you horny.

You mean more horny than I already am? I'm going to need another pair of pants.

We sent Detroit a first, third and sixth. We got Roy E. Williams and a seventh.

Ah and here is also the answer to those who got a headache because of the names on the Jerseys of both Rob Roys

Well, living in Detroit, they feel like it is Christmas today. The phones are blowing up on sports radio saying that they stole this deal from Dallas. Of course, the Detroit Media doesn't report the other side of the coin. They fail to mention that Dallas has multiple picks left next year and it is quite annoying...

And that Detroit is going to get worse now....

I have mixed feelings: the guy is an incredible talent, but I live in Michigan and he was very inconsistent with routes and catching the ball. On the other hand, EVERY player that puts on the honolulu blue and silver just........well, they go down a notch or two. That jersey is like cryptonite, except for Barry Sanders. Kitna is brutal for sure and so is the oline so his so-so stats don't bother me. I'm more than willing to give it a shot. 2 questions for you guys:

1) I really think RW is more of a middle of the field guy that can make tough catches in traffic. He CAN get deep but he isn't a burner and I really think TO and Austin will be doing that. Now we've got Witten, RW and Crayton for all the underneath to intermediate stuff that quite frankly Johnson only throws now anyway. (RW will also be an UNBELIEVABLE weapon on the goal line, where we've struggled getting people open for 2 seasons now) Brad did throw a nice deep ball or two in preseason, but.....it's not his strength. So, I see alot of you saying RW is the "deep threat" agree or disagree with what I said here?

2) You guys have seen him in college: I've only seen his inconsistent pro career (admittedly with a crappy team NOT all his fault) Question is this: can this guy LEAD? We need more leadership, just wondering if he could help......

I envision Owens running that fly pattern moreso than Roy Williams. Roy is more of a possession receiver than Owens, so he should become the primary "move the chains" receiver and Owens can remain being the "home run" receiver, which he is the better of the two.

I am going to because I care about the discussions here being good, and they were.

I have no reason to gloat. None at all. I didn't do a thing except share info provided to me. I hope I meet that guy face to face some day so I can buy him a steak. Best source I have ever had.
