I'm really referring to his ability to get separation.

He has deceptive speed. That's for sure. I also like the fact that he helps his QB out by coming back to the ball and not quitting on the play when Romo scrambles. Reminds me of how L. Robinson used to play when he was here.

Exactly. I love the fact that as a rookie, he's making those veteran decisions like keeping the play going when Romo breaks the pocket. It very much reminds me of a Laurent Robinson.

I love his approach to rout running. Check out his quote on Romo improvising:

"You just can't ever give up on a play," Williams said. "You have to run your route towards the beginning and then if it happens to break down, you just got to find a way [to get open]. That's what [Romo] does all the time. Anytime that [Romo] gets in trouble like he did a few times today, I'm just trying to continue to get open."

Is he Laurent Robinson 2.0? He had the same approach and was vey productive for us. T-Dub needs more than two targets vs Eagirls next week. If he doesn't I'll be PO'd.

I liked him coming out of college but i honestly didn't expect anything from him this year. Now i am ready to see him replace Austin full time

He and Frederick were worth so much more than what we gave up. So glad to see it because, I loved both picks.

Yeah. Getting Williams in the third was excellent and my favorite pick. Had an early second round grade on him, and he was the wideout, I wanted the most in this past draft.

Bryant, Austin, Williams, Harris, Beasley, Witten and Escobar. That's a hefty receiving corps.

Williams is football fast, that's what matters. He can get separation on deep routes.

In limited opportunities tonight was awesome- that toe-tap reception in the back corner of the end-zone was phenomenal obviously, but we might forget that his release and speed caused a defensive holding penalty that might have been a cruise in TD if not for the d-back killing it with a tackle.

IMO, he has shown the ability to be not only a great complimentary WR to Dez, but on many teams would be THE GUY. He got off to a rocky start, but the kid is a stud in wait. He has a game that reminds me of Torrey Smith- (Smith is faster and bigger but Terrence has better hands) and will only get better.

In no way should the team consider moving Williams for Austin in the #2 role going forward. Miles should be an inside receiver in a 4WR look along with Beasley going forward. Miles beat his man and Hall made a great play, but part of me thinks that Miles should have mitigated Hall by leaning back toward the ball and at least be prepared to leave his feet. JMO.

TWill should be entrenched barring injury moving forward.

I agree that Miles didnt really look like he was fighting for the ball, just waiting for it. To be honest, in the past hasnt that been one of his issues. He is quick and can make big plays when he gets moving in open space but I seem to recall that he has not really been an aggressive guy when it comes to going after the ball.
