On the day the Cowboys drafted DeMarcus Ware No. 11 overall in 2005, then-coach Bill Parcells told ESPN's Ed Werder that Ware reminded him of former Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor. Five years later, Parcells' former defensive coordinator with those Giants teams, Bill Belichick, thinks his old boss was right.

Asked whether committing so much money to Ware would be a hindrance for the Cowboys, Belichick had this to say:
I can't imagine DeMarcus Ware hindering any team's defense," Belichick said during his daily press conference with New England reporters. "The guy's one of the best players in the league. It's like when we had Lawrence Taylor with the Giants. That guy was a force on every play. The offense had to account for him on every play. I think he helped our team defense probably as much as any player I ever coached."


Pretty heady stuff from a guy who's not normally full of compliments.

It's one thing to get a compliment from Wade Phillips.

To get a compliment from Belichick like that speaks wonders for Ware. Cheating or not, the dude is one of the best, if not the best coach in the league.

It’s not. Too many old grump men still reading newspapers.

BTW, Ware is better than LT.

:fogeys:



I have you to know I don't read the paper anymore. I have mastered the INTERWEB BABY!!!! :geezer:



BTW, I watched Taylor play. Ware has a ways to go.

Taylor is possibly the best defensive player to ever play the game. Ware is great, and on his way to an amazing career, but at this point Taylor is still clearly the better of the two.

Though I do believe that Ware could one day unseat him.

Yep, LT is the best football player I've ever seen.

(I always said it was LT or Montana, but Montana was a QB, so he barely counts. )

Imagine a bigger Ware (proportionate to the size of the contemporary players) with Keith Brooking's craziness/intensity and you're getting close.

Imagine Ware on cocaine and roids! He would be unstoppable.

Didn't Bill Parcells do the samething? Compare Demarcus Ware to L.T.?

Did you read beyond the thread title?

Why would anyone 'get back to you'? You're irrelevant to this discussion and obviously incapable of grasping the most simple of concepts. Dismissed.

Twitter with Google wave is going to pwn in the near future!

If you have an invite you can spare, PM me. I still have yet to get my wave invite.

I wish I had one myself.

If Ware played in the 1980's he'd have been so damn scarry.

He was just a kid then. He wouldn't have stood a chance against adult offensive lineman.
