I was at his last game with USC when AZ beat them here in Tucson. They were aggressive and in the Pac 12 you have to almost play softer. I hate that.

why bring him in at all?

Or maybe he adjusts the D to the players strengths. That would be shocking I know! Maybe that is why he invented the cover 2 in the first place. Hugh Hefner is older and nobody says he can't keep up with the youngsters. Just ask his wife

My issue with ware is his containment , he over-pursues alot which hurts us so much in the run game .

not much of an issue as a weakside end..job is to get after the QB

PERIOD

I don't necessarily think he's too old, but at that age I think those six or seven years can make a big difference.

Kevin Greene - 160

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Plenty of older guys in the NFL, & I am sure Jerry & Jason are trying to stay away from the guys looking to build their resume for a Head Coaching job...

If they do, they're ridiculous. I'd love to have Ware pin his ears back and go after the QB on every down.

Jerry wants someone old like him that knows the game..

4-3 allows the DL to go all out and rush the passer forget that contain bs . That's why you have 3 awesome LBs who can fly to the football ( in 4-3)

73 is the new 53 right?

I forgot about him.

So maybe 50 away yet. That's a ton of sacks.

Kevin Greene with 160.0, which is 3rd all time. LT is 2nd as a LB with 132.5. Ware is 5th among LBs and has 111.0. Rickey Jackson and Derrick Thomas are 3rd and 4th.
