Is it me or was greg Ellis

I noticed that too...Ware was using the speed rush way alot and ran himself out of the play 2 much for my liking. Good thing he stepped up when it really mattered and got that clutch sack on 3rd down.

It's funny, this is the second week in a row that there has been a "Ware isn't doing a whole lot" post, but the fact of the matter is he's off the best start of his career. The guy completely changes the way offenses game plan.

Cut Ware!

For the record, I just went back and rewatched all of the snaps Ware was involved in rushing the passer.

I'll spare you all the details unless you want me to post them, I do have them saved and could copy and paste it, but only if you're interested.

What I came away with was this. In the 1st half, Ware was either double teamed, chipped (and when I say chipped, I mean they held the block for like 2 secs before releasing into the route) or Ware was in coverage.

I came away thinking this. Spencer has got to start over Ellis, I don't recall Spencer rushing the passer even once. Ellis does nothing on the other side except every once in a while. All of the attention is put on Ware, who moves from side to side, and Ware spends too much time in coverage for my taste.

Please Wade, get Spencer in the game more even if it means hurting Ellis' feelings, because the one sack Ellis got was because a TE was blocking him, and the other was a coverage sack, but Ellis did not take on a double team but once.

And i'm starting not to like the 3-4, because I want my best pass rushers getting after the QB every time he goes back for a pass, and at least 13 times, Ware was in coverage.

Greg Ellis is rarely ever facing double-teams. As I said before, he got his sacks against a TE and one-on-one coverage against an OL. The worse thing that happened to this team was Greg Ellis posted inflated statistics for the first time in his career, which limited the play of Spencer, who by all accounts was having a monster camp even this year. Dallas needs to start Spencer.

Playing at a higher level then Demarcus Ware. Now dont get all mad about this either it's just my opinion on this Game.

Ellis looked like He was always putting pressure. Ware seemed to me like He was dancing around way to much and not really doing anything. Ellis was much more effective. Thank god Ellis is still here:starspin

It is a lot more difficult trying to beat the left tackle than it is the right tackle. I'll take Ware and his heart every time.

One of Ellis's sacks came when Ware forced McNabb to step up in the pocket. Keep in mind that with a mobile QB, the first guy that gets pressure is rarely the one that gets the sack.

In truth, if there had been a little more pressure up the middle, we'd have stifled their offense.

I thought they played really good--both of em

exactly.

Ware draws attention but Ellis also gets chipped as well.

Both guys get duty doing something other than rushing the passer on occasion and both guys could have had 3 sacks had McNabb not proven so strong and hard to take down.

For all our secondary prowess Ellis and Ware ended the game.

I expect Ware ends up defensive player of the year and Ellis makes another pro bowl with both players notching double digit sacks.

Ware is a special talent but Ellis has proven he can perform at a level just below that which is still phenomenal and should shut up any critics.
