Greg Ellis fussed and grumped a whole bunch when Bill Parcells decided to move him to linebacker. Hindsight being 20/20, Ellis is glad that the Tuna didn't listen.
Ellis, coming off a career-high 12.5-sack season, during today's press conference about the 10-year veteran's first Pro Bowl berth. He smiled and stared into the cameras before answering.
"Appreciate it, Bill," Ellis said. "It was a good move, and I owe a lot to you."
While walking down the hallway after the press conference, Ellis said he hasn't chatted with Jerry since the season ended, so he's uncertain about his future with the Cowboys. The fact of the matter is he's under contract and, barring unforeseen circumstances, will form one of the league's best pass-rushing tandems with DeMarcus Ware again. Wade Phillips has indicated that the Pro Bowler will keep his starting job, so Ellis shouldn't have anything to worry about.
