Lost in all the jubilation over the AUTOMATICA kick, and the Tony Romo heroics is the great game by Ware last night. I realize that there are still going to be some who insist on focusing on his lower than expected sack numbers, but this kid is an exceptional football player who is everywhere making plays! He plays with outstanding technique versus the run, and demands double and triple teams versus the pass.
I get a kick out of listening to people complain about him because of the sack numbers because he is such a focus of opposing o-lines. Watch how teams scheme against Ware, and you will begin to understand what an amazing impact he has on a game even without getting sacks. If we had someone else who could put consistent pressure on qb’s this defense would be the best in the league.
One question, where are the line stunts? Have you seen Ware loop inside of Canty or Spears lately? Why not, in obvious passing situations, run stunts to confuse the other team? That’s one major advantage so many other “sack artists” have over Ware, they are utilized differently/more effectively in passing situations. Against Ware (no fault of his own) the tackle knows exactly where he is and where he is going because he doesn’t have to worry at all about stunts. If Zimmer would incorporate stunts you would see Ware’s sack total double.
