Terrance Williams Disappears

[Galian Beast]

Two seasons in a row Terrance Williams has started the season strong, but fades badly in the second half of the season. I wonder what is going on with this kid. I'm in the camp that wouldn't be opposed to upgrading the WR2 position, but I do like this kid. I wish he would become a more reliably consistent catcher who uses his hands rather than his body.

We're going to need to lean on him more this year, so I hope he is there for us.

He did well in the Lions game in the playoffs.

Personally I don't think anything is wrong with him. I just think last season Cole Beasley and Jason Witten ended up being apart of the offense more towards late in the season.

It's a Jason Garrett offense. Players will disappear.

We don't do little things just to get the ball in our players hands so they will disappear.

All Twill did last year was score big clutch touchdowns. He may of had a stretch of inconsistent play(what young player doesn't) but he scored some clutch TDS. He scored three in the post season. What more do people want from him?

 

[dbonham]

^ Apparently people want Patrick Crayton

 

[SDCowboy]

I thought he was great last season. Yeah, I'd like to see more out of him, but given the amount of options on the team, I thought he did pretty darn good for his second season.

 

[jazzcat22]

TWill had a broken finger last year. And played through it. I truly believe that effected his game. Tonyromo was asked about TWill not getting as many looks from him to throw to as before.
Tony said, things happen during games and during the season. TWill was in the game plan, but situations comeup, or the way plays develop, at times those players don't get the ball, or can't get the ball going their way.

But when his finger healed, he started getting catches again. I doubt it was a coaches or Tony confidence thing, but could been part of a decoy plan too.
I won't speculate on that, but glad he is on the team. He came up clutch time and time again.

He's exactly the same as everyone on this offense, sans Dez.

When the defense doesn't pay attention to him, he gets the football. Romo's brilliance now is in not just taking what the defense gives, but exploiting it. Williams isn't going to be a 90 catch guy simply b/c, for one, he's a deep threat who forces teams to keep a safety over the top and, two, there are 4-5 other guys who are going to get a lot of touches regularly.

I'm not sure what people expect or want out of him.

Smh I dislike Crayton to such a high degree. Can we ban his name for the site? lol

Romo also looks for Witten and now Beasley as prime targets due to trust. Sometimes he goes to them too much IMO.

 

[Little Jr]

The 2nd wr on this team will always be the 3rd option. Add to that we ran the ball more I don't think he did that bad. Keep in mind it was his 2nd yr . Lol Hes also came from a school with no route tree so he's still learning.

 

[erod]

He was tremendous in the playoffs.

There's only one football, and this team runs a lot.

Escobar and Williams don't get many opportunities, but they make the most of what they get.

Guy has been here 2 seasons he avg 16.8 a catch has 13 TD for the Cowboys and is still developing or does the 3 years BP talked about does not apply to Williams? Guy had made some clutch plays for Dallas. He plays on a team where they ran more than they passed where Dez and Witten are the 2 main targets so chances are limited. Simple question does he make the plays when the ball comes his way? In my view the answer is yes

 

[MichaelWinicki]

The offense had about 100 fewer passing attempts in 2014 than they did the prior season.

And once you factor in the number of targets Dez and Witten receive and there ain't much left.

I think it's called the Beasley affect.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

When other areas improve people are hell bent on finding other areas to complain or concern troll about.

Sad...But true.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

His catch radius hurts him. Tough to 'be open' when you have to put a ball right on the money. We also finally did the smart thing by stop having Witten run the checkdown route and gave that responsibility more to Beasley and Murray because Witten isn't going to break many tackles and turn a 3-yard pass into a 10 yard gain. We also ran the ball, a ton, so we weren't going to get many passes to our Z-receiver. Especially when the X is Dez Bryant.

I think in the end we have to remember what got us where we were last season...run the ball and throw over the top. Force defenses to double and triple Dez and play a lot of soft, deep zone and continue to punish them by running the ball and throwing short patterns to the RB, Beasley and intermediate patterns and past the chains patterns to Witten. If you start to try and get Williams more involved who is more of a deep threat style of receiver, it kinda takes away from what we do best.

True and what type of routs does Beasley run?

 

[Everson24]

Part of his problem was our philosophy to protect the defense. We ran on alomst every first down last year regardless of how many were in the box. We needed to do this to keep the subpar defense off the field and fresh. This then led to more second and long plays as the opposing defenses figured out our tendencies and that led to a lot of blitzing on second downs. Tony preferred to throw to Witten, Beasley, Dez or even dump it to Murray on those type of plays. On third downs Tony prefers Witten, Dez and Beasley as they have the most reliable hands.

Terrance Williams would kill most teams on play action and first down if we did not have to protect the defense. T. Will may be the biggest benificiary of an improved defense. I know we had one of the top offenses in the NFL last year, but we also left a lot of big plays on the field on first down. If our defense can hold it's own this year, we will not be able to afford Terrance Williams' next contract.
