Everyone hoped that playing along the side of All-Pro Terrell Owens, he and Williams would give opposing secondaries fits last year. However, with the departure of T.O., Roy is now the guy, and he has this year to prove that he was worth all of the hype, or he will be claimed a D-Town Bust.As it turned out, acquiring Williams midseason may have done more to hurt the offense this year than it helped. He certainly didn't live up to the price the Cowboys paid for his services - two of next year's draft picks, including their first-rounder, on top of a five-year, $45 million contract extension. Williams only had 19 catches for 198 yards in 10 games with the Cowboys, off the pace Patrick Crayton had set during the first half of the season as the starting receiver opposite Terrell Owens.
The Boys do have a good young core of receivers and tightends in Patrick Crayton, Miles Austin, Sam Hurd, and Martellus Bennet. Jason Witten has also become Romo’s favorite target and has become the premier pass-catching/run-blocking threat among all NFL tightends. Fans tend to look beyond such potential, though, and for Roy it’s going to be the question of what have you done for me lately?
Will he produce in Big-D and live up to the hype? We will have to see when the Cowboys take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on opening day next season.
