Williams 'not even close' with Romo

Roy Williams remains the Dallas Cowboys' No. 1 receiver, at least in his mind.

"I'm the No. 1 receiver," Williams said. "But things are just going No. 2's way."

The No. 2 is Miles Austin, who has produced like a Pro Bowler since moving into the starting lineup. Austin has set an NFL record with 482 yards in his first three starts, scoring on five of his 21 receptions during that span.

Compare that to Williams' statistics in 16 games since arriving from Detroit in a blockbuster deal: 33 catches, 447 yards and three touchdowns.

Considering those numbers, how could Williams possibly still see himself as the Cowboys' No. 1 receiver?

"He gets the ball thrown correctly his way," Williams said of Austin. "I'm stretching and falling and doing everything. Every [other receiver] who's been here, the balls are there. Our footballs are everywhere right now."

Williams, who has caught only 14 of 37 passes thrown his way this season, isn't asking for more opportunities. He just wants to be put in better position to make plays, which means getting on the same page with Tony Romo.

"We're not even close," Williams said.
