That was the play with 6:22 left in the first half, a play-action pass on first-and-10 from our 45. Ware lined up at outside linebacker and was supposed to cover Cooley, but Cooley stayed in to block. So Ware jammed Cooley at the line of scrimmage, and Cooley just stayed there. Ware had about a half-second after he started to push Cooley backward before the ball was thrown. He was never really rushing the passer on that play. If Cooley had gone out for a pass, Ware would have been covering him. The other lineman were reading the play-action.
All of the people who think this is an example of our pass-rush problems need to consider the situation and watch the play again. It wasn't a third-and-long from the shotgun when we couldn't get close to the quarterback, it was a first-down, play-action pass when only three guys were even supposed to be rushing (and after reading the run first) and Ware was supposed to be in coverage.
