Nothing either one of those guys says will ever change my opinion of anything. Roy Williams has been a bust for the Cowboys though. At first you could chalk it up to a new offense, but it's been 10 weeks now.
Ask yourself that question again and think about it.
TO? was he traded from SF and signed as a FA by Phily. getting old
to many of these 
Patriots fans all sleeping right now?
I think he was referring to Randy MossTO? was he traded from SF and signed as a FA by Phily. getting old
I'm not sure about that. He played a signficant part in helping open up thier passing game last season, had 278 rec yards in the play-offs, and had five TDs in five games this year before getting hurt. The wheels have come off in recent weeks, though.
You could insert Welker there too just for giggles.Honestly, I don't remember hearing this, but I think this trade had more to do with the future than with the present...sure it would be great if he integrated himself into the system like Chambers did last year, but I think this move says more about Owens' future than anything else. I would be surprised to see him on the team next year, and expect Dallas to take a WR in one of the 1st 3 rounds.I think he was referring to Randy MossTO? was he traded from SF and signed as a FA by Phily. getting old
No way, unless maybe somebody really good falls as they have invested in Williams.You could insert Welker there too just for giggles.Honestly, I don't remember hearing this, but I think this trade had more to do with the future than with the present...sure it would be great if he integrated himself into the system like Chambers did last year, but I think this move says more about Owens' future than anything else.

A couple of things though.1) Wasn't Williams due to be a FA at the end of this year? If so, why not wait to blow him away in March and keep the draft pick?You could insert Welker there too just for giggles.Honestly, I don't remember hearing this, but I think this trade had more to do with the future than with the present...sure it would be great if he integrated himself into the system like Chambers did last year, but I think this move says more about Owens' future than anything else.

and the Cowboys.
I believe he was a FA signing.Could be wrong though
Are you saying Roy was just a product of the system in Detroit?
plenty of wr trades worked fine. its harder midseason. we gotta see how rw performs next year after a full camp and all that. another thing to consider is that the cowboys should adjust their offense to utilize his talent. its just really hard to step in midseason and be a force in the nfl.now, i will admit they gave up a lot for him and he counts against he cap, so it will by quite hard to be worth it. anything short of top 10 wr will proly be disappointing.
The worst part about the contract is that he is now being paid more than T.O. Recipe for disaster.
in the cap era, draft picks are waaaay overrated.Dtika was way ahead of the curve on this one, but he got blasted for it. If he could have gotten a good QB in that era, they would have been a solid team.
yup, your wrong. Pats got Welker for a 4th rounder.
Nope, he was a trade, too. A 2nd and a... 5th? But he was traded during the offseason, not mid-season. He has been wellworth it for the Pats though. And they stole Moss, to
therwise, not many others have been worth it.As a Lions fan, I'm happy with the picks. I'm hoping a new regime will actually make them worthwhile, along with the 1st pickoverall next year. I liked Roy though. I think if he had a decent support system he could have been a top WR. I wishhim a grand career in Dallas (or beyond). Of course, so far, he has indeed been a huge bust for them...
You mean like his roommate? Uh oh, wait 'til TO finds out about this.
He just turned 27. How far into the future are we talking here?
Next season.It is very hard to come in and learn new offense mid season. Roy Williams will be a fine player for Dallas but asking him to learn a new playbook this year was asking a lot.
TO is 36, I think when he says "future" he means when TO is no longer a #1 WR.... which is closer than most people think.Not sold on this being a deal for the future though, they could have just signed him as a FA if this was a deal for the future.
People have a tendency to forget that Chambers was a bigger part of SD's playoff success last season than LT/Gates combined.Without Chambers SD might have lost the first home game vs TEN last year, but they end up going to the AFC title game in large part because of that trade.
Uh, the next 5-6 years?
LOL that's hilarious.......I didn't hear that comment but in the last 2 game threads for Dallas, I said the EXACT same thing, almost to the very word.I think I used waste instead of hose and I'll go further.......Patrick Crayton is better than Roy Williams.
I can't wait to watch him drop balls and run poor routes and generally play softly for the Cowboys over that period of time.Uh, the next 5-6 years?
A good QB and WR can hook up without any problems. I remember when GB signed Andre Rison during their SB run and he stepped right in and never missed a beat. The are many more examples.All of the posters waiting for a full training camp etc. are fooling themselves. When you give up the draft choices and money JJ gave up for RW you must produce now! RW is nothing more than JJ's new Joey Galloway.
Shhhhhh, based on this thread alone I think I already know who my sleeper WR is going to be next season. I just hope TO is officially a big part of the Cowboys '09 plans at least until a few early drafts.
There are nuances in this system? When might we expect to see them?This team needs more Miles Austins and less prima donnas.
One example of nuance was when Romo threw that first INT up for grabs down the right hashmark. The second throw up for grabs was down the left side of the field.
A great QB and WR can do this. Neither Romo or RW are great.
It was one of the few things which made sense last night.Dude cannot create separation.
Really, its not like he is involved in blocking blitz pick ups or zone blocking. He is not calling plays and reading everyone's coverage. Garret's system does not appear to demand W.R. reads the way some do. The guys has to run routes he has always run and keep his ears open for an audible or two . The latter should be fairly easy because from his view on the field he ought to be able to see a blitz developing as well as Romo can. If he needs more time he is about the dumbest W.R. ever, and that is a pretty difficult group to crack the top five in.
Advice received and taken to heart.
