With all the talk about Merriman's greatness...

[dr_hefley]

wasn't that him missing a tackle on Heap and costing his team a game this weekend?

I just got a chance to see the highlights. Sorry if it's already been discussed.

Yep it was him.. He went for the big hit and basically whiffed. He made a mistake, but he's still a great player.

 

[willis31]

Yes it was him. But evertime I saw the highlight the person made sure to mention that he missed the tackle to give up the TD lol.

Yeppers....even the very good ones mess up from time to time

I'm getting a little tired of Cowboys fans who are always talking about Merriman. We don't need to put Merriman down to think Ware is good. Give it a rest.

Nor do we need to obsess over Merriman's stat lines, after 3 games.

I fully agree. We both got great players. Let it go, people.

I have a feeling that this coming week might be a coming out party, of sorts, for Ware. I think that Philly and there offense (McNabb) is made to order for Ware.

 

[dr_hefley]

I'm just tired of hearing how great he is all the time. Thought it was ironic he missed a game saving tackle, that's all.

Very Sean Taylorish.

Dude. I bet you Manny Lawson wouldn't have missed it.

 

[InmanRoshi]

How could he miss a tackle on a tight end? I heard San Diego has him rushing the passer 100% of the time.

Bobby Carpenter wouldn't have missed either. Oh wait, he was inactive.

Nice sarcasm.

As we know, per BP, he is used the same as Ware. Sometimes it is hard to take those homer glasses off.

Least Ware has more tackles, right? All Merriman has is more sacks, INTs, and passes defensed after only 3 games.

 

[Teague31]

ware is the better overall player but merriman is the better pass rusher.

 

[AdamJT13]

ware is the better overall player but merriman is the better pass rusher.

Merriman gets more sacks, but Ware is the better pass rusher.

 

[Deep_Freeze]

Merriman gets more sacks, but Ware is the better pass rusher.

OK, I know you have shown it for last seasons numbers, but what about this year??

Show me, please.......

No.

But we should stress over the fact that we have a top 5 defense/offense after three weeks....

Who's stressing? It's a good sign, hopefully it continues.

I just find it amusing how people are willing to dismiss Merriman's sacks because of who they came against (be it opponent or particular player)...yet when someone brings up the same point about who've we played in regards to us being top 5 it is irrelevant.

Just amusing, that is all....
