Warren Sapp: DeMarcus Ware will have 25 sacks this season

[newlander]

Yeah, I know alot of you don't like him but he predicted 25 for DWare this morning on the NFL Network with Michael Irving as his co-host....crazy?


my opinion: not only COULD it happen it WOULD happen if Rat and Spence were healthy...but they aren't so it won't. He'll get doubled alot and will get about 15 sacks this season. Those 2 guys piss me off and frustrate me to no end btw...especially Rat.

 

[Staubacher]

U know it!!

They also predicted Romo outplays Eli this season. U know it!

 

[CowboysToTheBone]

Michael Irving? That IS crazy.

Jason Whitten.

This is the funniest statement that I have seen this week. But not because of the prediction.

Just like every other season then?

I would ask what is different about this year that makes 2013 the year he is primed for 25 sacks vs the previous 8 years in the league when he didn't achieve 25 sacks?

Do you think the answer might be a switch to the 4-3?

Sapp has been very high on our defense all offseason. He's partial to the Tampa, obviously, but he has been gushing about Ware any chance he gets.

He's no longer a linebacker, which means he doesn't have to drop into pass coverage.

 

[CowboysToTheBone]

Yes, that's correct. No coverage responsibilities for DWare should lead to more sacks.

 

[bayeslife]

I had him at 40 personally. But of course, Sapp constantly has an anti-Cowboy bias, so what can you do.

 

[Bungarian]

Sapp loves this defense and that is why he said it.

LOL I saw this show to and posted this earlier on another forum. I'm gonna go with 18+.

Not only that but he's been a Cowboy fan since he was a kid.....

 

[DallasJ7]

Dez is MVP, and Ware with 25 sacks? Guess we're going 14-2. Whoop whoop!

 

[dragon_mikal]

U know it!!

Well that's really going out on a limb.

 

[30yrheel]

This defense is the biggest question mark on the team.

 

[Galian Beast]

This defense is the biggest question mark on the team.

I'd still say it's the offensive line.

Do you think the answer might be a switch to the 4-3?

I think you may need to break it down even further.

In the 4-3, as a DE, Ware goes after the ballcarrier 100% of the time, whereas, as a OLB in the 3-4, he had coverage responsibilities. Therefore, given more opportunities to go after the QB, we can reasonably expect an increase in sacks. (((school bell ring)))
