Demarcus Ware - perfect definition of a sack technician

TheCritic · Sep 20, 2021

No disrespect to his HOF career, but to me he was the perfect definition of a sack technician. Great sack totals, but not someone who disrupted offenses and made quarterbacks uncomfortable the entire game.

That's what Charles Haley was all about. That's what Micah Parsons is all about. I won't even suggest that Haley and Parsons are of the same mold or type of player. Parsons is way more athletic and Haley was just a head case. But whatever it is, they both had that instinct to get into the head space of their opponents.

I'll take that special quality 10,000 times over any sack technician.

No disrespect JWeekender, but, :facepalm:

So after two games, you are saying Parsons is better than Ware ever was?

Go watch this video with his highlights just from the 2008 season ..

Parsons is a really good player and maybe in a few years you can say that he was better than Ware, but saying that right now makes you sound as ridiculous as other teams' fans who after one great game by a rookie quarterback start comparing him to Tom Brady.

The NFL forces you to watch them on Youtube so you have to click the "Watch on Youtube" link if you want to watch it unfortunately.

I don't need to go watch Ware highlights to know what a great player he was. I'm just saying he was never consistently the disruptive gamechanger like Haley was or what Parsons appears to be. Ware mastered moves and techniques o get to the QB and did have games he "took over" in his career. But it's also true that he disappeared for long stretches and offenses could scheme up and take away his effectiveness.

Ware absolutely was a gamechanger. It's not his fault that Jerruh gave him little help on the rest of the defense. When he got released people were saying he was done then he goes to Denver and magically he wasn't done. Got 2 sacks in a SB and a ring...

Tangle_Foot · Sep 21, 2021

Don't get me wrong I love Parsons but week 2 in the rookies campaign is way too early to make that statement. He went up against Storm Norton, Bryan Bulaga's backup. Norton and NFL tackle was a undrafted free agent, and has only three starts in his career. I think it's safe to say that the light has not come on for him talent wise, and from the beating he took yesterday the charges might be looking to disconnect his electricity

This comparison is just too early to make.

A better thread title might be Micah Parsons vs DeMarcus Ware

This thread is ridiculous.

Whats your dealers name and are they looking for more business because I am interested

I love the way Ware has been teaching Parsons pass rush techniques.

I think you are wrong. offenses had to account for Ware the whole game. he was the entire DL. Haley was great, but he also played on a defense with great players and much better, deeper DL. teams couldn't just account for him and try and take him out of the game. you forget we had the #1 defense, #1 pass defense. #1 rush defense in one of haley's years. that's not all because of Haley..

I think they were both great DEs, pass rushers.

I think Parsons can be the same....I think putting him at DE is going to wear him out sooner than later going heads up on RTs and RGs constantly and fighting double teams at 245.....

I would love to see a shift to 3-4 as he was rushing standing up a lot in the game anyway....and put gregory on one side and parson on the other, ala denver with ware and parsons. parsons can drop in coverage and cover TEs and obviously as shown rush the passer. put gallimore and Odiz at 3-4 DEs.....just a matter of finding a NT.....LVE and Cox/Smith(urg) can be the MLBs.....that would be a scary defense to deal with...just IMHO

Quintessential case of recency bias.

No need to disrespect Ware in order to prop up Parsons…don’t be that guy.

Risen Star · Sep 21, 2021

Ware was just one of those guys who racked up 100 plus sacks without really disrupting anything.

I'm not a big fan of those types.

He played great, no doubt, but it was just one game, out of position, against a back up tackle.

People were roasting him after week 1 when he appeared to be out of position on one pass play.

CATCH17 · Sep 21, 2021

Ware got the Romo treatment. He was the only guy on that side of the ball doing anything and if he didn’t crush an offense by himself then the defenses failure was all on him.

Go watch him I’m Denver when finally surrounded by good players lol.

That’s not entirely true. Ware had some nice pieces around him…even lead some good defenses..Jay Ratliff, Anthony Spencer, Hatcher….
