Roy Williams changing number

[Txbroadcaster]

Roy Williams was wearing No. 38 in Wednesday's practice and he said today he would like to change officially for next season from No. 31.

Good news for the Cowboys' Pro Shop.

Williams wore No. 38 at Oklahoma and wanted to wear it with the Cowboys but Duane Hawthorne was going to charge him $20,000 to make the move his rookie year.

"Eight in the bible means a new beginning so I feel that after this season I feel it's time to switch over," Williams said.

Williams had been contemplating the switch for the last couple of years but stuck with No. 31.

that would explain why his jerseys have been 50% off for more than two months.

he's not getting cut...the Cowboys have traditionally only put jerseys on sale AFTER a guy is off the team...I have a feeling they've known about this pending change for a couple of months.

I was implying lack of sales.

:doh:

Haha...I wish that were the reason.

Unfortunately, I wish that were the case...I see more #31 jerseys out there than just about any other current Cowboys (although #9 is definitely gaining ground.)

Let me tell Roy somthing...If he wants to get some of his mojo back, he should start by losing about 15lbs. I watched a highlight video of him early in his career making big plays and it's so obvious that he's just too heavy.

Either that or put on about 15 or 20 more AND change his # to 50 something and get him out of deep responsibility. His run support is so good, but as the years go on, it seems his deep coverage from SS has been getting worse. I always wondered what kind of a OLB he would make.

but who would the Cowboys get rid of to make room for him there? Ware and Ellis aren't going anywhere, and Anthony Spencer is already pushing both of them.
