Week Six Answers: Dallas Cowboys 24 Arizona Cardinals 30

Q: Will WR Terrell Owens and RB Marion Barber III continue to be decoys?
A: With the acquistion of WR Roy Williams for four draft picks, one can't help but conclude Terrell Owens' act has run its course. Was he a decoy this week? I don't know, but this is the fourth time in six games he has four or fewer catches. The writing was already on the wall.

Q: How does WR Steve Breaston follow-up last week's seven catch effort?
A: Imagine the scene. Phone rings. Bryant Johnson Johnson answers. Voice says, "That is what a WR behind Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin does with a chance to star, bee-yatch!" And hangs up.

Breaston topped a 100 yards with a TD. Unfortunately, Larry Fitzgerald doesn't seem to get any additional production when Boldin is out.

Poll

Is a 1st, 3rd and 6th round pick in 2009 plus a 7th round pick in 2010 too much for WR Roy Williams?

Yes. Think Herschel Walker lite.

No. With the years necessary to develop a WR, the price is fair for a #1

Honestly

Was Roy Williams really worth three picks in next April’s draft? Adding a 7th rounder in 2010? I can see the logic of trying to avoid the two-three year development of a WR, but Williams wanted out.

Imagine the unlikely scenerio

Roy Williams doesn’t sign an extension and decides to test the Free Agency waters. Yeah great pick up.

Acceptable level of performance for the price?

1200+ yards and 8-12 TDs per season for three more seasons?

ARI

Bryant Johnson? Who is that? Oh yea an overrated first round guy who couldn’t catch that is being replaced and showed up by a fifth round pick in just his second season.

What kind of odds do you think you could have got if someone would have told you that Breaston would have twice as many receptions and yards than Bryant Johnson through 6 games? Man I love me some Breaston.
