All three characters are well cast. Tuco was cool but so was Angel Eyes. :)

Tuco's Law: If you're going to shoot, shoot! Don't waste time.

Angel's Law: People with ropes around their necks don't always hang.

Blondie's Law: You see in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig.

I never tire of watching that move.

I don't really get into the whole starting new threads just to push an agenda but I will gladly continue talking about what irks me the most in a current thread. Players like RW11 , Barbie, and coaches like Hoov really get under my skin. I'm glad we won and are now 4-2 but some counter forces still remain. If anyone has issue with people talking about things that interest them, be it positive or negative, the choice is always there to refrain from hitting the reply button. If your curiosity got you enough to click on what you might have considered a questionable thread, at least take some solace in the fact that you still have the choice to refrain from responding...

Deion and Merrill Hoge are simply seeing what the minority on the board with loud mouths see. I guess sometimes hearing it from a former NFL player kind of places a slightly higher legitimacy on it even if those former NFL players are considered dumber than a box of rocks and butthurt over the loss of TO. The level at which some go to sweep the riff raff under the rug is highly entertaining. You've got some guys that profess to rarely posting but have somehow managed to post 2000 responses in the last day telling those with opinions to keep it all in one thread... :rolleyes: Like we've never before seen multiple threads loosely resembling the same subject on the board...

I hope more alleged "mediots" step up and call Roy out. It's well deserved. Perhaps that's the only thing that will get him to step up his game, stop running lazy routes, stop whining about how he's getting a bad rap, and start finding himself where Romo expects him to be on a regular basis. It's funny how no one can answer my question of why it appears as though Romo's INTs stopped when he stopped keying on Roy as his first option... That cracks me up to no end.

On a positive note, Romo is no longer keying on the lazy route runner and has instead chosen to focus his attention on the emerging, strong, precise, determined game of Miles Austin. I applaud Romo for finding what works best for him, as well as the team, and exploiting it. Romo may have just found his go to guy for the near and foreseeable future. Thank goodness for that! With three healthy RBs, a serviceable threat in Witten, Austin burning on the corner, Joe D's STs playing like madmen, and Hoov's defense doing it's job this team just might make a liar out of me and my 8-8 / 9-7 prediction. I sure would love to eat that crow. Keep up the great work Cowboys. :starspin

It's obvious that Deion Sanders and even Michael Irvin still have a soft spot for Terrell Owens and would love to do the whole "I told you so" bit.

However, there is quite a bit of truth in what he says. If you just look at what Roy Williams has done up until now and you disregard what he may do, I believe the Cowboys come out on the short end on the trade and the contract we gave him.

Also, most people who don't like Roy Williams probably will never understand but because of that big contract and draft picks, Wade Phillips and GM Jerry Jones cannot and will not put him on the bench. It would be way too soon and it is just bad business to do so at this point.

Roy Williams, you wanted to come to Dallas very bad. Dallas is a great place to play football but you also have to accept the backage that comes with it. Each and every day you don't live up to the lofty expectations, no matter how unrealistic, the media and the fans are going to turn on you. This is just life in Big D.

BTW, when was the last time we had a good old fashion Wide Receiver controversy in Dallas? Just off the top of my head, I would say Keyshawn Johnson and Antonio Bryant, but that wasn't that huge because Antonio Bryant kept being a nucklehead.

u know you're having issues when you deserve to be benched in favor of crayton. :bang2:

Why?

At some point, I think you have to stop looking at where someone was drafted and look at their production on the field.

Like Deion Sanders said, people still have not forgiven him for the drop, the perceived give up on the route during the Giants Playoff Game and opening his mouth occasionally.

However, Patrick Crayton has been a very solid player for us.

WR controversy.

T.O. vs Amendola didn't count?

Roy has played like trash since becoming a Cowboy, but nobody should take solace in that. Defenses are going to start keying on Austin to stop him and we are really going to need Roy Williams and Martellus Bennett to step it up. Too bad these guys don't seem have the mental capacity to work through this trough. I hope they pull it together.

Roy definitely needs to get his head out of his ***, and I was very happy to see him on this team. But at this point, he just looks like a jerk for campaigning for more looks and then does nothing when he gets them.

He doesn't just look like a jerk - he is a self-centred, primadonna *******.

Deion knows a little something about stealing money and playing time.

Love him or hate him (I still mostly hate him), he was a very important part of the 1995 Super Bowl team which makes him money well-spent during his Cowboys tenure.

I would say he hasn't been that bad until yesterdays game and Garrett and others have said he HAS been open this year but we haven't got him the ball.

MArtellus and Roy have been in the same boat all season. They are open but just aren't getting the ball.

They are just trying to protect Roy's feelings/ego by saying that. The truth is that he is not generating enough separation to make Romo confident en ough to deliver the ball. For those of you who argue Romo needs to trust Roy to make the catch when he is covered - there is no reason for Romo to trust Roy at all - trust has to be earned.

13.8 ypc = 1st down each catch.

When you've got Miles Austin breaking the game open for you, you need a chain-mover as well. He might have come at a price, but as long as we're posting up more Wins, who cares?

The ypc is okay, it is the ypa for passes that are thrown in his direction that is atrocious. Some of that is on Romo but alot of that is on Roy's inability to generate separation and his recent case of butterfingers.

I think the future of this team is probably Choice/Witten/Austin/Bennett/Felix at the skill positions. The sooner we get rid of some of the entrenched incumbents from the pecking order (yes I'm talking about Barber and RoyW) the better.

This will be a concern before too long. He needs to start catching passes so this can go away.

Roy Williams is a superior player to Patrick Crayton and can do more on the field.

Crayton is a better slot receiver too.

So just leave it as is. Roy will get his eventually and once we get him going who is going to stop us other than the little yellow flag?


Hats off to you. Lately, your posts are excellent. Kudos!!

Deion has a great point, Williams has been playing like an Average receiver, coaches with guts do something about this, start Crayton for a couple of games to light a fire under Williams, I'll guarantee you he'll either fold like a *****, or come out swinging like Crayton did.
