Cowboys OLB DeMarcus Ware finished the 2007 season third in the NFL with 14 sacks

[Gryphon]

The Pro Bowler also forced four fumbles and had a remarkable 84 tackles, which is a very solid total for a rush linebacker. Mario Williams tied Ware with 14 sacks behind NFL leader Jared Allen (15.5) and Seattle's Patrick Kerney (14.5). Osi Umenyiora ended up fifth with 13.

Ware is going to be Defensive Player of the Year... One of the best defensive seasons ever for a Cowboy.

Who would be the other candidates? Reed? Urlacher? Cromartie?

When is the last time we had a Defensive Player of the Year?

 

[Nors]

Jared Allen, Cromartie, Samuel, Willis will be in the mix with Ware.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

1. D. Ware-Dallas

2. J. Allen-Kansas City

3. P. Kerney-Seattle

4. B. Sanders-Indianapolis

5. A. Cromartie-San Diego

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I think it comes down to just Ware, Allen, and Haynesworth, maybe Patrick Kerney

When was the last time we had one player with 14 sacks...........wow.
I'm still in a daze from that alone.

WTH? No Jacques Reeves?

Before sacks were an official NFL stat, someone on the 70's teams had 20 I believe.

Harvey Martin is the guy you're thinking of.


MAN, what a D-Line we trotted out back in those days.

Harvey Martin
Ed "Too-Tall" Jones
Randy White
John Dutton (not great, but he held his own here)

James Harrison, PIT, OLB 98 Tackles, (76 solo/22 assisted), 8.5 sacks, 4 Pass Ds, 1 Int, 7 Forced Fumbles, 3 Recovered Fumbles.

I think Harvey Martin "unoffically" had 23 sacks in one year. That's before the stats become offical years down the line.

Phenominal.

a lotta people say B. Sanders will get it...

 

[masomenos]

I don't know why really. His stats weren't much better than everyone's favorite whipping boy, Roy Williams.

Sanders had 5 more tackles, 1 fewer solo tackle, 3.5 more sacks, 4 more plays behind the line of scrimmage, the same amount of INTs and 1 more pass deflection. Now, regardless of agendas I don't think anyone on here would suggest Roy should be DPOY, or should even be considered for the award. Yes Bob Sanders was certainly better, but was he so much better that people talk about him as DPOY while others talk about not wanting Roy on the team? Absolutely not.

Give me DWare or Patrick Willis.

Side note on Jared Allen - he only played 14 games this year due to his two game suspension at the beginning of the season.

was he suspended due to steroids?

Kerney or Allen might get. Ware seems to be a favorite, but I just don't think he gets it.

But, Ware is a beast. I wish my skins had him.

HOF player you have there.:bang2:
