Roy: Romo-Williams Looking Like Montana-Rice

According to numerous sources, Roy Williams was impressive on Monday, the opening of the Dallas Cowboys' first session of organized team activities. Surprisingly so.

In fact, Williams is so encouraged by the progress made by he and quarterback Tony Romo, particularly concerning their rapport or lack thereof, he tossed out a vaunted pair of names Tuesday in comparison.

"You know, last year around this time, we were throwing and catching and it wasn't very good," Williams said. "Just to be quite honest with you, we were missing balls, and bad throws and drops and all that in the offseason that carried over to the season.

"But this year, we're connecting like [Joe] Montana and [Jerry] Rice. It's night and day from last year so I know we're expecting big things for both of us."

Of course, practice has never been a problem for Williams. It's game time that has stymied him throughout his time in Dallas, and established a reputation for the former Lion as a sort of practice field hero. But Williams, as he stated last year around December, knows that it's his responsibility to reverse this trend of thought.
