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.
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.
