Am I the only one that feels foolish that Ellis had been wasting his time at DE his whole career? Who would have thought the guy is a pass rush demon at the OLB position? Geez.

How true. He is an animal at that position.

Ellis is something else, 9 years on and he's at his best and playing great.
There was a lot of animosity amongst fans toward him because his contract dispute, but I can easily look past that with the way he's playing.

I love me some offense but the defensive stats are by far my favorite.

We have a ton of INTs this year (2nd as a team in total) and the sacks from Ellis and Ware are impressive.

I'm pretty sure Campo feels pretty silly, but he's always like that.

Campo is the epitome of silly.

In the 4-3 Ellis had to be an end, he wasn't built for the Jimmy Johnson/Dave Wannstedt/Butch Davis/Dave Campo/Mike Zimmer speed attack that utilized small quick speedsters like Dexter Coakley and Ken Norton.

He was a Tony Tolbert type DE but in the 3-4 he drops back as a heavier outside backer because they need more girth in that scheme and present different pass rushing opportunities.

Likewise people like Chris Canty would probably not excel as 4-3 DEs.

Ellis hasn't been wasting time at DE... just in Zimmers read and react D...


If you've noticed, he's been getting a lot of his sacks playing the DE position this year... he's just attacking the QB instead of having to worry about the run..

That's a good point. It's not like he is really good at dropping in coverage. It probably was more a problem with the scheme than with the position he was playing.

I am so thrilled when I look at team or individual stats and find the Cowboys or a Cowboy close or near the top...that ole worm has finally turned
