This will be a signature game for Demarcus Ware, good or bad

It's been a career-long problem. The brighter the lights, the harder it is to find him.

The brighter the lights? Didn't he, ONE GAME after leaving the field on the stretcher have a game winning sack the next week against the Aint's? I just don't know where this perception comes from that in order to make your mark you have to get sacks in the clutch. How many times have you seen Aldon Smith do that? Or Jared Allen? This is the most bizarre criticism of Ware i've read but a lot of guys share that opinion.

Considering the proportion of sacks to number of attempts to sack, hardly any player racks up "game-winning" sacks game after game.

Even if a player finishes with a 20-sack season, he's barely averaging over a sack a game. So how often is that sack going to happen "in the clutch?"

EXACTLY. Its such a confusing criticism to have of him. I'll never get it. I want to know who this pass rusher is that constantly grabs all of his sacks in clutch moment situations?

Ware has been one of the best in the league at getting sacks late in close games. The only people who criticize him for failing to do that are those who lack knowledge and/or perspective.

I completely respect your knowledge Adam but can you explain last week then?

What I've noticed is Ware gets double teamed a lot &held. Maybe all this fuss about Mo & Carter blowing coverage might have something to do with it? Maybe he's hurt IDK? All of a sudden! All these secondary's not playing well, I wonder how JPP, Jared.A, Aldon S, Orakapo, & JJ watt are doing? answer: same as Ware but healthy! I wonder if their fans are poptarts to?

I don't know about all the others but I watched J.Allen and he crushed it all game long last week sacks and pressures from the opening minute to the end. Hmmm, since he is the current sack leader, I wonder if they ever double team him???

i would like him to dominate from the 1st quarter to the 4th quarter. he hasn't had a game like that in a long time.
