NFL: WR Roy Williams says Lions practiced harder than Cowboys

By Brian Davis
The Dallas Morning News

DALLAS — Wide receiver Roy Williams went public with his displeasure about the Cowboys' offense on Friday in a series of radio interviews.

He said the Cowboys had "the easiest offense to figure out" and that his former team, the 0-16 Detroit Lions, practiced harder than the Cowboys.

On Dallas ESPN-FM 103.3, Williams said the Cowboys need to move people around just to change things up.

"But, like I said, I'm a coachable wide receiver," Williams said. "I'll run what I'm supposed to run. And I'll continue to have the cornerbacks ask me, 'Why do they got you running this same thing over and over again."'

Williams was acquired at the trade deadline, and it was thought he could help take pressure off Terrell Owens. But Williams, who had 19 catches for 198 yards and one touchdown, made no real impact.

At one point, Williams said of quarterback Tony Romo, "The gunslinger ain't looking my way." Williams also claimed learning the playbook wasn't an issue.

"I've done swallowed that thing whole," he said.

Williams had at least one idea how he could get more involved.

"We can start with like a slant or something," Williams said on 103.3. "I feel like I'm a pretty good receiver. I can catch a slant and turn it into a 20-yard gain or something, but I didn't run a slant this past season until the Philly game."
