DMN Blog: Final Romo to Roy report of Training Camp. Roy wears #81

By Tim MacMahon/Blogger

Roy Williams noticed something after he swapped jerseys for Mike Jefferson for the afternoon practice.

"Once I had 81 on, I got about 50 balls today," Williams cracked, making a sly reference about Romo's tendency to throw to T.O. in the past.

Actually, Romo targeted Williams nine times during the afternoon practice. They completed six of them. Miscommunication can be blamed for two of the incompletions, which came when Romo threw a go and Williams ran a comeback. The other incompletion came when Romo's pass sailed high on an intermediate crossing route.

The Romo/Roy connection was even more impressive during the morning practice, when Romo completed all six of his passes to his new No. 1 wide receiver. The highlight was a seam route on which Williams got wide open for a long touchdown.

"That's probably the best they've been all camp," Wade Phillips said.
