IRVING -- It took DeMarcus Ware five games before he got his first sack last season. The Dallas Cowboys' All-Pro linebacker didn't wait as long this season, sacking Donovan McNabb in the season opener.

But after two games, Ware has only one sack.

"Number-wise, it's not up to par how it should be," Ware said. "You look at pressure-wise, I'm getting there. I'm getting pressure on the guy. Those things I have to be aware of, getting more sacks in the game, getting more pressure in the game, but also making those big plays, because we haven't been having them in the recent weeks."

The Cowboys were seventh in the NFL last season with 42 sacks, but they had only one in the first two games last season.

Defending the kicker

Without even being prompted, Cowboys coach Wade Phillips defended his placekicker. David Buehler has missed two of his four field-goal attempts this season, and he missed four in practice Wednesday before the media's access period ended.

DeMarcus you are misinformed. There are plenty people in the Zone who feel you are doing more than enough.

Anyway, I am glad he KNOWS he HAS to do MORE! Not just him either. When you are 0-2....EVERYONE has to do more!

I'm more concern with the lack of turnovers than I am about the sacks, as Spencer said the sacks will come.

I love how the media writes things like this. I'm all for a real kicker, but they just as easily could have written "David Buehler has made two of his four field-goal attempts this season." Had to put it negatively. I think even "David Buehler is only 50% on field-goal attempts this season," would have been better.

D-Ware and Spencer must dominate...

Don't say that too loud - questioning Ware/Spencer is a sure way to get flamed
