Players on the team thought that Greg Ellis was needed on the field and that DWare went as far as to hide on the sidelines to force the coaches to put Ellis on the field. (According to Greg Ellis) And he said a lot more.ethiostar;2835868 said:

I'm so glad that whiney loser is off this team. He could have played the Jeffcoat role perfectly, but he was always too busy b******* about something. Why can't these guys just stop talking crap? He's really showing what kind of character he has by selling out Ware if that's really what Ware was doing for him.

Maybe i should read through the entire thread but how does the best linebacker in the league standing at 6-4, 260+lbs hide on the sidelines?
Didn't he play almost every snap last year anyways?
Edit: Thanks Adam!

With the help of Pro Football Focus' play-by-play participation charts (which aren't 100 percent accurate and include some non-official plays, but are a good starting point), I think I've identified the 29 plays Ware missed last season. Other than a few last-play-of-the-game plays, I've confirmed most of them by looking at my game tapes.
Ware missed one play when he was shaken up in the first Commanders game (checked for concussion), three plays when he was shaken up against the Giants (stinger) and the last 13 defensive plays after hurting his knee against Seattle. That leaves 12 plays when he could have been on the field but was not. They are --
One play in Game 2 against Philadelphia -- With 3:39 left in the second quarter, Ware was replaced by Burnett in the dime defense. Ellis was already on the field and stayed on the field.
Five plays in Game 3 against Green Bay -- With a 27-9 lead and 3:43 left in the game, Ware was replaced by Hatcher for four plays in the dime defense. Ellis was already on the field and stayed on the field. On the last play of the game, Ware was replaced by Hatcher. Ellis was already on the field and stayed on the field.
One play in Game 5 against Cincinnati -- On the last play of the game, Ware was replaced by Spencer. Ellis was already on the field and stayed on the field.
Two plays in Game 11 against San Francisco -- On the third and fourth plays of the game, Ware was replaced by Spencer. Ellis was already on the field and stayed on the field.
Three plays in Game 14 against New York -- With 7:50 left in the third quarter, Ware came out for two plays and was replaced by Ellis on second and third downs. When the next possession started, they both were on the field. And on the last play of the game, Ware was replaced by Spencer. Ellis was already on the field and stayed on the field.
So when, exactly, could Ware possibly have been "hiding" from the coaches in order to get Ellis playing time?

Page 4 and you guys still dont know why?
They said the reason why is because Ellis was such a leader and the guys wanted him on the field.
They were all looking for Ellis's leadership but Ellis said he felt like he couldn't be a Leader to his full extent because he wasn't getting as many snaps.
No matter how much you guys hate Ellis the guys on our team loved him and cared about him a lot.
Ware only did this out of respect towards Greg because he, and others felt like Greg deserved to be on the field more than he was.
He was a leader on this team and a heck of a Cowboy while he was here.

I used to think that Ellis just tended to run off at the mouth without thinking.
I'm starting to believe that Greg has a pathological need to feel wanted and important, now.

Never gets old.
From the deterioriating mind of Greg Ellis:
"I'm not sure why I wasn't invited to be one of the celebrities on stage at the Michael Jackson memorial. Somebody hates me."
"When Quincy was released, I offered to play quarterback but Parcells wasn't interested. Not sure what that was all about. Just trying to be a team player."
"The Cowboys were trying to replace me even before I got here. They drafted Shante Carver and Kavika Pittman before me. What's up with that?"
"I didn't call the cops on Anthony Spencer. At least I don't remember doing it. Maybe I did. When was that again?"
"Every once in a while, I see a white sedan following me home. I think Jerry is having me followed. Is this my role? To be followed?"

This thread is meaningless and I simply made a statement looking for an answer on why this is news.
