Anyone else notice Demarcus Ware is relying power moves

[texbumthelife]

Has anyone else noticed he seems to be relying more and more on power moves i.e. his bull rush and less on his speed, quickness and athletic ability? I think with all the injuries last year he may have adapted his play and now he's having a little trouble transitioning back.

I really want to see him go back to that outside speed rush, jab step to inside rush. That move was absolutely lethal for him two years ago.

Thoughts or other observations?

He was held a lot. That's what I saw.

Mannn they were holding him and Hatcher all night SMH... The refs let a few calls go

Call me crazy but I wouldn't mind seeing us do with Ware what Denver does with Von Miller. He's their SOLB but he's also primarily a pass rusher. I don't know if it would work, but imagine Spencer and Selvie coming off the edges with Ware coming behind Spencer on the strong side.

He has always been held a lot. If it seems worse that may have something to do with his propensity to get up into the OL bodies now. He doesn't seem to have the same explosion and lean when speed rushing. Im not playing chicken little, but I hope he's not already wearing down.

He used his speed and bend around the edge about as much from what I saw. The first quarter he easily beat Beatty around the corner and had a blind side kill shot lined up on Eli and seemed to stumble right before he was going to unload, that gave Eli just enough time to throw it away. I still don't know why he hesitated/paused.

Over react much?

I'll continue to question Ware and Spencer at DE until they prove me wrong. At DE, Ware cannot just speed rush...he no longer has outside contain. They both must take on the OT head to head and play the run and rush the QB.

He used everything in his arsenal last night.

Until the refs start calling holding he will get mugged on each play.
