I'm thinking about 4-6, maybe more...and that doesn't include all of the missed tackles attributed to the other players on "D". It seemed like Greg Ellis was the only player on defense that knew what to do with McNabb when he got his hands on him. Don't get me wrong-I know McNabb is super strong and elusive for a QB so stocky, but....come on!! I counted over two dozen missed tackles on McNabb alone.
DWare is my favorite player..period, so that's why I'm extra hard on him. Dude seems to end up with like 99 QB pressures a season because of nights like this past Monday. He got SSSSSOOOOOOOO close in so many ways, in so many positions, it was ridulous. He was at McNabbs' feet, just behind him, almost batting a pass away, etc. The worst were the times when one of the strongest players on the Cowboys had McNabb in his grasp, & somehow couldn't bring him down. I know, I know, a hundred players have had the same frustrations. But I'm talking DeMarcus freaking Ware. DWare, my man, you have got to finish or you will never be considered for DPOY.
Sit down & talk with Ellis, and other players who, when they have their man in their grasp, it's game over. This entire defense needs to practice that. I don't know if it's exercising your forearms until you look like freaking Popeye, but something has to happen.
As a side note: I got real excited about Felix Jones, Mike Jenkins, Marty Bennett, and the rest of our rookies who made plays on Monday night. It gets me excited for the future.
