Williams says he and Romo not on same page

Cowboys receiver Roy Williams is a little irritable these days. According to him, he and quarterback Tony Romo aren’t on the same page and he doesn’t want to hear that Miles Austin is now Dallas’ No. 1 receiver.
From ESPN.com:
After putting in a lot of extra offseason work with quarterback Tony Romo, Williams is stunned they haven’t made more progress.
“It’s just not even close,” Williams said. “It’s not even funny. Not even close.”
Williams does not believe his poor production accurately portrays his performance.
“I’m the No. 1 receiver,” Williams said. “But things are just going No. 2’s way.”
“He gets the ball thrown correctly his way,” Williams said of Austin. “I’m stretching and falling and doing everything. Everybody [else] who’s been here’s balls are there. Our footballs [from Romo to Williams] are everywhere right now.”
Williams has been dealing with a rib injury he suffered earlier in the year in a loss to the Broncos, so that could be causing some issues. That said, you watch Williams and Romo play on Sundays and the connection just isn’t there. These two have zero chemistry and it doesn’t look like it’ll improve anytime soon.
It’s interesting that yet another receiver is having issues with Romo. But one would think that if Austin can develop good chemistry with Romo, so could Williams.
Cowboys’ Roy Williams frustrated

Another Cowboys receiver is unhappy.
Following his one catch performance in last Sunday night’s 33-31 loss to the Giants, Dallas wideout Roy Williams is frustrated that he’s not being used like a No. 1 receiver.
From the Charlotte Observer:
Williams doesn’t deny being frustrated with his lack of involvement. He was only thrown to four times against the Giants.
“Yeah, it’s frustrating,” Williams said. “I feel like I’m a playmaker. I run my route and hopefully the ball will be there. If not, I move on to the next play, then move on to the next one.”
Williams said he was not criticizing quarterback Tony Romo and remains confident in Romo to lead the Cowboys and get him the ball.
Williams didn’t let his lack of involvement affect his play on the field. His down-field blocking keyed the 251-yard rushing effort against the Giants.
“That’s what was working for us,” he said. “There are going to be games like that.”
This doesn’t seem like it’s a big deal now, so I won’t try to spin the situation into something it’s not. But it is interesting that we’re only two games into a new season and already a Cowboy receiver is venting his frustration with his role in the offense.
Is Romo keying on certain guys or is Jason Garrett’s offense not doing enough to get the No. 1 receiver involved more? Owens complained about not getting more opportunities to make catches last year and everyone wrote it off as T.O. being T.O. It’ll be interesting to see if Williams’ complaints get louder and louder throughout the season.
