When Romo is calling out the play, at the end of the play calling have Romo give Roy Williams a sign or tell him what he's running?

It sounds corny but seahawks bout picked romo off 3 times sunday because of the miscommunication by Williams.

LOL, don't mean to laugh but you do realize they do this anyway? Right?

When they call the play, the route is already there in the play call. Then is Romo audibles, he will change the route if he sees that Roy is the hot receiver.

Sometimes, if the QB and WR are really in sync, they don't even have to call and audible. They can both see the same thing in the defense and adjust on the fly. Romo and Witten do this all the time.

The problem is not the route that Roy is running, it's the TIMING. Meaning, he's not getting to a certain spot on time. So Romo isn't comfortable throwing to an area that Roy has to be at. This offense is built on timing, so if they both don't know where to be or where to throw the ball, it won't work even if they both know the correct route called....

Really? Romo was intercepted three times Sunday?

romo could give him a map and it won't help if he drops the ball. many plays are not defined till you see the defernse, kinda hard for a qb to go over and tell a vet how to read a defense. miles, hurd,crayton, wiiten don't seem to have these problems. maybe it's not communication but just plain old stupidity?

Not really funny since they might do that occasionally but are you pretending that happens every play? I believe that's what the original poster is suggesting. Now that part might be funny, but I think it'd be pretty pathetic and telling of Roy Williams if after each play he has to be personally instructed on what specifically to do.

Just bench Roy. That will fix it.

i swear he runs like he has a rope tying his knees together

Funny as hell and so true. Roy sucks. My wheels fell off his bandwagon long ago. The only thing he has going for him is that he looks like Felix

The Cowboys wrs also have option routes where they can run a different route depending on the way the cb and s are playing him.    The problem is that Roy has been reading it different than Romo on a lot of plays.  Austin had a problem on the interception in Denver.  Crayton has had some issues with these routes at times also.

I know how to fix it.  Put Williams on the bench and cut him after the season.

Yeah, we know how you feel.

We've read all 900+ of your posts and they all say the same bloody thing.

No, you haven't Big Red 1.

I was listening to Werder on Galloway and he made and interesting point.

Why does Tony only have an issue on timing with Roy Wiliams?

Could it be that Roy doesn't run the right routes?

He pointed out that he has never been a good practice player.

He is good teamate but we have plenty of blockers and towel wavers.  Jerry's biggest mistake every if you ask me. My mind is made up on the guy.

He is serviceble but will never live up to the contract or the picks that were given up for him.

That is true. No other receiver has miscommunication problems with Romo. It has to be Roy. No other explanation for it. Some say he is new to the team and it takes time for chemistry. Others say he has been injured. Excuses are like butts, we all got em and they all stink.

Don't you guys ever get tired of the same old posts on RW. In the Seattle game, 1st drive, Romo threw to Roy 2 times. Roy was open on both, one was high and the other was behind him. As Bill used to say, there are 2 sides to that pancake. Why does Romo hurry his throws when targeting Williams, why is he so off target? These were not the type of timing routes where the ball is in the air before the receiver turns. Tony sees Roy come open and throws a pathetic pass. How is that RW's fault? Some of you guys amaze me. Did you see RW make some of those great blocks that helped both the running backs and receivers gain extra yardage? As far as what kind of money RW makes, I think that is Jerry's business. We are having a great season, Roy's part of it, and I see thread after thread about how Roy sucks. Geez, there is no pleasing some of you guys.

If I'm Garrett I'm making Roy and Romo spend a lot more hours in the film room breaking down coverages and read options on their routes because it seems like too many time Roy is not where he is supposed to be.

Also, I'd tell Sherman he better have Roy out there running more routes because he runs very lazy and inconsistant routes which is what I believe is leading to Romo being a little off on a lot of his throws.  As a WR you need to be where the QB expects you to be when you run a specific pattern.

Roy Williams remains the Dallas Cowboys' No. 1 receiver, at least in his mind.

"I'm the No. 1 receiver," Williams said. "But things are just going No. 2's way."

The No. 2 is Miles Austin, who has produced like a Pro Bowler since moving into the starting lineup. Austin has set an NFL record with 482 yards in his first three starts, scoring on five of his 21 receptions during that span.

Compare that to Williams' statistics in 16 games since arriving from Detroit in a blockbuster deal: 33 catches, 447 yards and three touchdowns.

Considering those numbers, how could Williams possibly still see himself as the Cowboys' No. 1 receiver?

"He gets the ball thrown correctly his way," Williams said of Austin. "I'm stretching and falling and doing everything. Every [other receiver] who's been here, the balls are there. Our footballs are everywhere right now."

Williams, who has caught only 14 of 37 passes thrown his way this season, isn't asking for more opportunities. He just wants to be put in better position to make plays, which means getting on the same page with Tony Romo.

"We're not even close," Williams said.
