From 50,000-watts of truth, accuracy and thoughts reserved for Scarlett Johanson, some sobering thoughts and comments about an expensive, aging almost-great athlete. Next up, Oy Vey Cajun from Richardson and Tri-City Bowling News.
Men, there are some truths that don't come easy. Like the time we found out Daddy drank beer at the bar. Or about Michael Irvin's taste when he first bought an expensive suit afteri signing with Dallas. Bitter truths. As bitter as kissing Rosie O'Donnel first thing in the morning. So be brave gentlemens when I tell you this with sadness and a heavy hernia.
Greg Ellis, 31, is on the downside of his career if not already coasting downward. Yes, all you Ellis fans get on your swooning couches.
The once-vaunted DE and now linebacker is also coming off an injury And he makes a chunk. $2.5 million in 2007 and is signed through 2009.
There appears to be enough talent left in him, assuming he fully recovers, to make him expendable as trade chumm. To get the most trade value while he's still not a fossil, that is.
And there's a logjam of LB talent. Ayodele, Burnett, Carp, Junior Glymph, Bradie james and Hoyte and Ware. And that is not counting the rookies.
His sack totals led the team for six seasons, but his sack totals have stagnated and he hasn't had a great year like a Top 10 draft pick might.
SACKS
1998 3
1999 7.5
2000 3
2001 6
2002 7.5
2003 8 (team leader)
2004 9
2005 8 (tied with rookie Ware as team leaders)
2006 4.5 (Injured, played half a season)
He had peak solo tackles (50) in 2002, then a dwindling 35, 44, 26 solo tackles.
OK, men. if Ellis does not show enough, sooner than later, I think the Boys will give him the Jesus talk. If the cap kin take it, the Ellis experience might be over soon.
With the new regime of Wade in town, Ellis the eldster, Ellis the average producer, Ellis the expensive, Ellis the disgruntled will be old news, old cargo. O, satan get behind, vanish from our midst and let lhe Cowboys cast him to another place where he will blossom and thrive. But not here.
Cowboys are on the verge of having a defensive breakout year, full of sound and fury and not with aged personnel from the past. I say verily unto thee, let the future arrive sooner than later, O NFL gods.
Thank you, brave men of the Zone.
