Man I have been watching Austin’s highlights. He is using his speed as soon as he gets of the line. Even when they are pressing him some he gets out of that. Whats really impressive also is that when he catches the ball he does not get tackled right away. He breaks a tackle then takes it in for a touchdown.

yeah i see you guys’ points on roy. i’d like to see him have a couple of good games in as well. no, the stats don’t mean anything to me either, and they really should’nt…..i’ll tell you that if he could put together 2-3 good games in a stretch, all would be forgotten at this point. he just needs to get on the same page. romo-austin-roy/ could-would-should…..it’ll come

I dont know I think for what he is getting paid he would have to have around 800 or more yards and 8 or more touch downs. We have to understand he is our number 1 receiver. He will not ever have double coverage either because he is not a threat either. Austin is more likely to get double coverage and he is not getting paid like he is. I was excited when we picked Roy up so I dont want to see him be a bust. Sorry to say but Roy is more like another Crayton so far lets just hope its his ribs making him drop those balls. I think Romo was actually on the same page with Roy this week the balls were right where they needed to be besides the one that hit his feet. So I am not giving up yet because any other day Roy would have caught those balls and he would have had a good game maybe 100 yards if he caughts those balls. Maybe he is scared Romo is throwing him into a wall again lol just kidding.

I just want to see him have a few solid games. The stats don’t really matter to me. I want to see him cut back on the dropped passes and just do something good for the offense. He’s great when he catches a pass and can push around the cornerback, so I want to see him do that more often.

yeah, i will give him till the end of the year too. at that point if he does’nt come thru this year for us then i will be the first to say-bust. but i just don’t think he will be. he was good for detroit and he will be for us. maybe we did give too much, i don’t know? that will be again determined at the end of the year. but my point was if he does’nt do anything at all year, and has one all out game to help us win the division would he be still a bust? how do you gage a bust? is their some stat line measurement that would dictate weather he has past the bust stats or he made it. would it be like 60 catches 800yds 5 tds or something like that? or would he be a success if the defense rolled his way with doubles all season long opening single coverage for everyone else and suffered for his numbers? how does one measure success and what roy would mean for his offense? just not sure where everyone guages him to be. ? i guess for a first round pick, everyone considers 1000yds and 10 tds a success.? if austin, witten, and crayton can get good numbers because roy takes the double, i would consider that a success. that is something owens would never have been happy with because he was’nt a team player. roy seems to be a good team player, and does’nt put his own stats first. so i respect that.

Davedallasfan I dont think people are really bashing Roy they are just upset that we gave up so much. For the money and the picks we should atleast see more of a Boldin type receiver. You are right though he has had some set backs and I believe he would have had a good game this week if it was not for his ribs bothering him. Its not going to take one game to prove to every one he is true talent even if its a game against Philly for the division. He needs to show every one that he is going to do it more than one game. I think he might come through soon because the game this week he was open and getting seperation just did not catch the ball. Which I blame it on his ribs and thats because we all know that Roy has great hands. I am giving him till the end of the year for I completely rule him out. The one thing that did disappointment me about him though was when he did not come in I believe on the Denver game at the end. I know his ribs took a beaten but tell me that Irvin or Emmitt would not have been out there. He could of atleast came in to set up a different look for the defense.

i really think we are sitting well at this point of the season; washing is DONE……philly is a walking mash unit again…..and the giants have lost 2 straight……weneed to play consistent football on both sides of the ball, and we can really win thgis division. but in order to be consistent it will take various players to come up to the plate and have hot streaks a various points of the season. roy will have his. give it time

let me ask the roy bashers one honest question; what would you say about roy if he did nothing all year. then the last game of the season we’re tied with philly for the division. winner takes it. roy goes out and has 12 catches for 175 tds and 2 tds and wins the game for us after doing nothing all year???? would you still be bashing him even as looking the gift horse in the mouth? hey stranger things have happened in this nfl. give it the full season and see how it plays out.

i am forever the optimist here and you guys know that. last year when roy came here it was a complete shambles with owens on the cuff week in and week out. he did’nt get the repore with romo he needed. roy and romo worked hard this off season and by the way it sounded had good chemistry there. roy gets off to a slow start, poor play calling from our O-cord, and now cracked ribs. these are set backs that slow the process down. i’m glad to see austin let the jets loose, and start to peak. i do think this will translate well with roy, witten, and the entire offense. it always takes one guy to break out. roy will start to get back in the stride now i do believe. you know witten is’nt lighting up the nfl either? give it some time. like mb3 said, give it the season and then see where he’s at. remember choice did’nt break out till late last year, when???? when we needed him. so roy will be there as well. patience…….
