Cowboys receiver Roy Williams is frustrated with his numbers and tired of trying to defend himself.
He said he is not complaing or pouting and is continuing to do everything he can to still help the Cowboys win.
But he wants everyone to know it's not all on him_ especially when passes are high or behind him.
"It makes me look like crap," Williams said. "The only thing that keeps me going is cause I now I'm not. I know what I am. I know what people are trying to make me be. I know I'm not that."
Williams has no answers when asked to explain the difference between his numbers and those of receiver Miles Austin. Williams has 14 catches for 249 yards and two touchdowns. Austin has 26 catches for 563 yards and six touchowns.
"He gets the ball thrown correctly," Williams said. "I'm stretching, falling, doing everything. My balls are everywhere."
Williams said and quarterback Tony Romo are simply not on the same page _ which is downright shocking to him, considering the work the two have put in together.
"It's stunning," Williams said. "I anticipated us rolling right now. We are rolling in the win column. But as far as me and Romo's production, we are not even close. I'm not mad or anything by no means. We are just not connecting. I am not going to rant or rave or be pissed off. I'm going to work. I'm just waiting for the switch to cut on on one day...boom."

Roy can catch the big ones. It's just a matter of him and Romo both knowing where Roy is going to be on a particular cut/pass route. That's all.
Maybe Roy and Tony should simplify Roys routes a bit. Just concentrate on getting Roy open for at least a second or two and then have Romo zip the ball into Roy's breadbasket.
50% of the time Romo's passes seem off significantly to Roy, but, the other 50% of the time Roy seems to not be looking for Romo's pass soon enough. On one play last week, Roy ran a route into the endzone and he was wide open--unfortunately Romo threw the pass early, as necessitated by the pass rush, and Roy didn't look behind him for the ball as it rocketed toward him in time. The result was a ball that bounced harmlessly at Roy's backside.
If Roy had looked behind for the ball a second sooner on that play--BOOM!--touchdown.
I know it sounds simplier than it is, but, isn't it simply a game of "Throw and Catch" between QB and WO? All the while playing "Keep-Away" from 300lb D-Lineman and DB's?
If Roy will look a little sooner for the ball and Romo starts knowing where Roy will be at any given moment--WALA! TD!

Roy should keep his big mouth shut and draw all that money he's not worth.

It doesn't look like Romo has a clue to where Roy is going on most plays. So I'd have to say that the problem is a little bit Romo and a lot of Roy.

wow!!...........sounds to me like it is something personal going on' but we know that wade phillips is not gonna ask whats going on, because he not really a head coach just a cordinator playing coach, but to me there is something wrong personally between these two that we don't know about...this guy is suppose to be this teams leading reciever for gods sake, it is terrible when you see balls thrown over his head or at his feet, and when the passes are ther we know that he catches them or romo is getting him put in the E.R from broken ribs.somethings going on!!
