Demarcus Ware made an interesting quote in the article by Clarence Hill titled "From out of nowhere".
Ware: "It was like a platform for me," Ware said. "I got up to 250 [pounds] and they asked if I could gain more weight. So I got up to 255 at the combine. I ran well with it. I moved well with it. They [scouts] were like, maybe he can do this. I learned it was not about pub and media hype. It was about how you play. As long you get out there and play, you will be all right."
Manny weighed in at the combine at 241, and during his road show visits with teams, Pat Kirwan has noted that he has weighed in around 233. If Dallas scouts wanted to see Ware gain weight, I would imagine they would like to see the same from Manny. I thought Manny would try to gain and be closer to 250 prior to the season and maybe 265 next year. That does not apper to be the case.
Give me Carp or Wimbley to go alongside Ware. At 6'5" and 233 lbs is awful light. I think he may have a problem handling big TE at that weight let alone ROT. Remember, Ware was 250 last year and the team still wanted him a little bigger. I don't think the team has any plans on moving Ware to the strong side, due to Parcells quote comparing him to L.T.
Based on all the time the scouts have spent with Wimbley, the Sr. Bowl, the combine and a visit to the ranch, it would not surprise me if he is the guy we've targeted. I do remember Jerry asking him at the Sr. Bowl about playing outside LB in a 3-4 and Wimbley replying he was very interested.
I also think Carp would be a nice pick-up. Hard to argue with his production.
