I did not see these plays - can anyone break this down further?

Can't break down all the plays since I don't have them at hand, but Warren Sapp showed Ware A LOT of love on NFL Network. Every chance he got, he was also talking up our D, even referred to them as swarming to the ball like wolves (because everyone knows wolves, not Bees, swarm).

I found it interesting since he has been, justly, critical of our D in the past.

1st and 10 -- Run to the opposite direction; Ware comes from behind and hits McFadden behind the line of scrimmage, resulting in a gain of 1 yard.
2nd and 9 -- Dump off to the other side. He wasn't much of a factor.
3rd and 1 -- Run up the middle; Ware shoots through and tackles from behind, but it's a 1 yard gain for a first down.
1st and 10 -- Pushes lineman back; keeps him engaged enough for Lee to have a clear lane to the QB. Hatcher/Lee sack fumble.

Can't ask for much better than that out of only 4 plays.
