Ware - One assisted tackle

Hatcher - Didn't even make the box score - no tackles, no assists.

I will be glad to see Hatcher roll down the road. Not worth the trouble or any cash.

Ware is a shell of his former self - He is one of my all time favorites, class act, solid guy, but the rigors of the NFL have taken their toll. We need to let him go too so we will not be on the hook for large sums of money and getting no productivity.

Good teams make calls like this even though they are tough - that's what separates the good teams from the poor to mediocre teams.

Agreed - it's time to let Ware go. He's not worth 1/5 of what he's getting paid.

I hate to see Ware go but it is what it is. You are who you are. Thank you for everything - HOF career and ROH inductee for sure.

Sad but true. Actually not sad...he has been paid well. He has not helped lead this team anywhere. And he has not had to endure nearly the amount of criticism Romo has. So I do not feel sorry for Ware. I do hope he is successful in his post NFL career. Maybe he can catch on with a contender and be a situational pass rusher.

The problem is that Hatcher is now getting the double teams that used to be Ware's, and Ware can no longer win 1-1.

If you cut him, I believe he'll hit the cap at 3mil, if you keep him, it's more like 16mil. If they plan on keeping him, they really need to cut his salary by a lot. He's not worth 16mil next year. I'd hate to see him go, but it's time.

The same goes for Austin. He's going to hit the cap at 8mil next year. He's another one that needs to get cut or salary cut.

agree. he actually seems desperate to reach the quarterback, taking himself out of plays sometimes because of it.

I don't even know that I believe it's all age. If you watch him out there, he's just playing like an idiot. He runs himself out of plays regularly, doesn't attempt any counter moves, doesn't use his hands, it's like he forgot how to rush the passer.

9 times out of 10, he just runs wide and tries to beat his man around the corner which obviously isn't working. He's pathetic to watch right now, completely useless on the field.

We all balked at Parcells for putting Ware in coverage. Those were Ware's best years.

Parcells knew that Ware was the type of player to run himself out of plays.

Also, that's why when up by 6 points in the 3rd quarter, all Parcells ever did was run the ball. We all screamed about it, and wanted Romo unleashed.

Now we know why.

Let's not forget about our $50 Million corner getting torched, looking lost and dropping INTs

Carr hasn't looked very good since the Detroit game. He was solid last year and I thought he would be playing quite a bit better - he was getting burned by back-ups last night.

good teams do this BEFORE they pay them.

Ware shoulda been traded BEFORE his last deal was given to him.

you have to get rid of older players while they are still hot.

Carr being the veteran he is he is trying to do too much. If you were him would you trust everyone around you? Nope. So, it keeps him off balance and he cant just do his job. Thinking any second you need to go help a safety or LB with a runner is gonna put you out of place on your own guy.

Can't argue with that. Now we are on the hook for millions for a guy that is lucky to get one tackle - not a sack, a tackle - a game.

Let's not forget our all pro all world hall of fame MLB who is the most injury prone superstar in the league.

I don't know he was working man to man quite a bit and he did not look good at all.

This. Hatch was getting mauled by two guys while Ware was dancing the Cha Cha with some unknown rookie and an occasional fullback or backup TE. Is Dancing with the Stars in Ware's immediate future?
