Romo Treading Lightly On R. Williams Prospects

IRVING - Contrary to popular belief, quarterbacks don't decide who gets the ball, the defensive coverage does. Or should. Certainly, there are occasions when a quarterback looks for his favorite target but if said target is blanketed, bracketed and otherwise taken away, the quarterback SHOULD go elsewhere.

There was a line of questioning directed at Tony Romo today that seemed to assume he'd be looking to feature Roy Williams in their first game together.

Asked if it might be Williams' "turn" this week, Romo said, "I don't know that it's .. we'll see the coverages they play and who's open. if Roy is open, he will get the ball, if someone else is open they'll get the ball. Coverages will dictate stuff, it's the guy that I see that I can get the ball to, that will be the guy."

Romo also attempted to quell expectations about hitting the ground running with Williams.

"You have to understand (tight end) Jason Witten could walk off the street and I would know what he is going to do just cause he thinks the same way on the football field. He feels a guy with leverage here hes going to do this at this time. I think Roy has a little bit of that in him. He will understand when to come out of a break. There are going to be times when I thought he was going to out a little faster. They will pop up for sure. But what are you going to do? That is part of the learning process. Hopefully it doesn't happen at the wrong time."
