Every single Ellis play
Greg Ellis is listed as an OLB, but he was in a three-point stance every time he was on the field against the Rams. That's because he was used solely in the Cowboys' nickel package.
"I wanted more," Ellis said after the game, "but I'm glad Wade stuck to the plan."
Ellis managed to make a major impact despite participating in a grand total of 14 plays -- 10 third downs, two second-and-longs, a first-and-goal and a second-and-goal.
The results weren't pretty for the Rams with Ellis, who had 1.5 sacks and two hurries, lined up at left defensive end. Those 14 plays netted 29 yards and a turnover. Follow the jump for the Ellis play-by-play:
Third-and-7 -- Quick slant off three-step drop to Torry Holt for 11 yards; Ellis blocked by TE and RB.
Third-and-19 -- Incomplete pass; good pressure by Ellis against single block by RT.
Third-and-15 -- Draw to Travis Minor for loss of 1 (tackle by DeMarcus Ware); Ellis blocked by RT.
Third-and-8 -- Incomplete pass; Ellis blocked by RT.
Second-and-10 -- Personal foul facemask committed by LT Alex Barron vs. DeMarcus Ware, who blew by Barron in a 1-on-1 matchup; Ellis blocked by TE and RB.
Third-and-23 -- Quick slant off three-step drop to Isaac Bruce for 24 yards; Ellis blocked by RT.
Third-and-5 -- Incomplete pass; Ellis slants inside to create room for blitzing CB Nate Jones, who hits QB Marc Bulger.
Third-and-8 -- Sack by Ellis for -7 yards; beat RT with speed rush and hand chop. Ware shifted to ROLB before snap and got good pressure after beating RB block.
Third-and-10 -- Incomplete; Ellis blocked by TE and RB.
First-and-goal from 7 -- Sack by Ellis and Marcus Spears for -3 yards; Ellis bull-rushed TE.
Second-and-goal from 10 -- Ken Hamlin interception; Ellis dropped pass into coverage in middle of the field.
Second-and-11 -- Hook off three-step drop to Holt for 8 yards; Ellis doubled by RT and RG.
Third-and-7 -- Quick slant off three-step drop to Holt for 12 yards; Ellis cut by RB.
Third-and-7 -- Incomplete; Ellis blocked by RT.
