IRVING, Texas - Terrance Williams has disappeared from the Cowboys’ offense. No one has any idea when he’ll return.
Williams had five touchdowns and six catches of 20 yards or more in the Cowboys’ first six games. In the last six games, he has one catch of 20 yards or more and no touchdowns.
Frankly, the ball isn’t even coming his way these days.
Against Jacksonville, he didn’t catch a pass for the first time this season. Against Chicago, Williams didn’t even have a pass directed his way for the first time in his career.
In the last five games, Williams has caught just 5 of 15 passes directed his way for 75 yards.
“Again, it’s opportunity,” coach Jason Garrett said. “He’s gotten opportunities throughout the course of the year and he’s cashed in on them.
“He’s done a really good job blocking. We’d like to get him more opportunities, but we’re running the ball a lot and the passing opportunities are fewer and further between.”
Williams is frustrated, but he’s focused on not letting it affect his preparation or performance. When told he has done an excellent job blocking, Williams said recently, “You have to do something when the ball isn’t coming your way.”
Williams is an important part of this offense because he can help the Cowboys score easy touchdowns with long receptions that set up points.
“He’s done a very good job when things have broken down being a viable receiver for Tony,” Garrett said. “They have a really good rapport, and he’s made a lot of plays that way.”
Impromptu plays are fine, but Garrett and play-caller Scott Linehan need to figure out how to get Williams to be a difference-maker again
