Theebs! Theebs! Theebs! Thanks for the vids bro!

About Roy.

I do agree that we aren't going to see what Roy can really bring to this offense until he has at least one training camp with the team under his belt. Those off season programs will allow Jason Garrett and Tony Romo to adjust to his best attributes.

Can he be a #1 WR for the Cowboys? He sure looked like a #1 at times for the Lions so I don't see why he can't do it here if indeed Terrell Owens is cut.

We hear that his work ethic is in question. I just hope it's not as bad as we have heard from some folks. If it is though we just have to hope he puts a whole lot of time and energy into showing those critics that things can change for a young player.

I still don't like the idea that he doesn't see it as a problem to talk publicly about his perception that he was not being used properly in the offense last season. Maybe he's just feeling the pressure. Some times young players don't really know when to hush up.

But if that pattern continues and he goes thru his career doing interviews like Terrell Owens does then he had better be ready to take on a reputation similar to the one that follows #81 around these days.

People say I am crazy for mentioning Roy and Michael Irvin's name in the same sentence, but I see a lot of similar things in their skill sets. Both are big strong physical WR's with great hands. Neither is known as a speed guy and that's fine as long as you go after the football aggressively while it's in the air. Irvin was one of the best at that and Roy has shown some ability to go get the football.

Now we just have to get Michael out the practice field with Roy to teach him how to run great routes.

The biggest difference is Irvin's hart, a lot of player had better skill sets then Irvin but his hart and passion set him apart. Without that all you got is another Keyshawn

This guy could be a number one reciever on about 20 teams and has all the tools to succeed. I just hope that we don't become pass happy with Owens and Roy next year. It's one of the main reasons I want TO gone..

ironically that would probably hurt the running game more then it would help it. If Garrett really wanted to run more he has the perfect offense to do so, 2 WRs that demand more then single coverage and the best TE in football, but we couldn't even run consistently with all that which is why I very much doubt he'll be able to figure out a way to run without it

 

[Beast_from_East]

The fact that Garrett could not figure out how to get Roy the ball is still mind-boggling.

For a 1, 3, and 6th..........He better be a 1000 yd WR.

 

[Cowboys2008]

It's DO time.

Not one acceptable excuse can be had. He had better get on that field and play like the player he's being paid to be. End of story.

Don't "fool" this fanbase twice.

well last night he said jason wasnt the problem, which is the opposite of what he said on the radio.

So who knows what the problem is. According to most of this board all of a sudden it appears Tony Romo is the one lacking.

Which is well, par for the course around here lately.

My man sounds like a total *******.

I believe Aikman when it comes to Roy. I'll glady be proven wrong though.

WR Roy Williams believes T.O. will be back ... but passing game is in good hands, no matter what

Coachable WR Roy Williams told CBS 11's Steve Dennis that he'd be "very surprised" if the Cowboys cut T.O. Williams also made it clear that he'd prefer for his "best friend" to be back.

But he doesn't grasp why people would push the panic button regarding the Cowboys' passing game if T.O. is gone.

"Say what now?" Williams said when asked whether he could be the Cowboys' No. 1 receiver. "What kind of question is that? I mean, yeah, I can be the No. 1 guy. I've always been the No. 1 guy. I've never been the No. 2 guy, ever in life.

"I hear people say, 'Well, you know, if he doesn't come back, where are we going to throw the ball? Roy Williams, he doesn't produce and yadda, yadda, yadda.' My thing with that is I could play ball here at Permian, I could play ball at University of Texas, I could play ball in Detroit. I came to Dallas a couple of times and put on a little show. ...

"So all of a sudden, I can't play now. To answer the critics, I just have to play ball. That's it."

Williams had only one 1,000-yard campaign in four seasons with the Lions. He caught only 19 passes in 10 games after being traded for the Cowboys.

Asking whether he can be a No. 1 receiver seems like a reasonable question.

Williams does understand that he has a lot of work to do in Dallas. The process starts with getting on the same page with offensive coordinator Jason Garrett and quarterback Tony Romo -- two guys Williams has publicly pointed the finger at to blame for his struggles.

"Yeah, I mean, I trust the guy," Williams said when asked about Garrett, not exactly beaming with enthusiasm. "You know, I think he's still getting used to me. That's why I'm so excited about the off-season. Just put everything behind us and show the guy what I can and can't do.

"Not much I can't do. I can catch the football. I can catch the football in traffic. He's just going to have to understand and trust that I can do that.

"But it's not really about Jason. It's about Tony having that trust in me, and me having that trust in Tony."

To answer his critics, Williams has to earn the trust of a couple guys he's criticized. Then he can just play ball.

Yep. Me too. It's too bad he will continue to be a #1.5 receiver until he actually shows something on the field in a Cowboys uni. Our true #1 has already shown plenty in the uni during his time here. Together they have the potential to be very good. A more balanced offensive attack is the way to go. We have to keep defenses guessing. Can Coach Tecmo pull a more dynamic offense out of his ***? Stay tuned.

That starts with him shutting up and just going out and establishing that trust relationship with Mr. Simpson. Less interviews and more practice time with Tony would be a very good thing. I find it interested how underwear only gets wadded up when a certain player does interviews.

 

[Apollo Creed]

Roy has been running his mouth like he's scored 40 TDs in 3 years here or something. 189 yards in 10 games, that perpetual stupid look on his face, and a series of interviews where he has done nothing but make our teams chemistry problems worse.

But he gets a pass.

Thank you Troy Aikman for putting this man on blast every chance you can.

 

[Apollo Creed]

He's right about putting on a show against us though, I remember banging my head watching Aaron Glenn try to cover him in the redzone.

 

[Hostile]

That pumped me up.

"We're going to do it."

Yeah. I'm a huge Roy fan but he has got to let the interviews go and just go do it.

I'm sure it's pure coincidence that the biggest TO fans are the biggest Roy bashers.

Personally i just find it amusing that people want TO off the team yet back Roy who's doing/not doing the very same as TO

I mean, the guy caught 19 passes and people are comparing him to Irvin
