The Cowboys picked up an excellent receiver, Roy Williams, during the season and he did absolutely nothing. Was it the play calling, his work rate? I find it puzzling because Williams at times was a force for the Pussycats...err, I mean the Lions.
The most common theme when discussing RW’s short time here by those close to the team were things like very poor work ethic on and off the field, didn’t even know most the plays and frequently ran the wrong routes. You can’t feel confident a a QB when you don’t know where your WR is going to be since so much depends on timing routes. He was also hampered by a nagging foot injury, which did slow his progress somewhat. (Why didn’t he spend this downtime learning the play book?) Same is often said of T.O. Hence, Romo leaned so heavily on old reliable, Jason Witten—the anti-RW/T.O. And looking first to Witten infused jealously among his other (neglected) WRs. Go Figure!
