taken from AdamJT at the cowboyszone.com

It's a shame that the media aren't even aware of Ware's most impressive stats -- 10 tackles behind the line of scrimmage and 18 total plays behind the line of scrimmage (sacks and TFL combined). He finished No. 1 among outside linebackers in TFL and No. 1 among all linebackers in the combined stat


Ware> or = To merriman?

10 for Ware, 5 for Merriman. I thought Merriman was overrated last year and didn't deserve the Pro Bowl....just got some high profile time on tv.

Adam's breakdown on page 2 of that thread is even better about the comparison. Adam seems like a level headed guy, not a blind homer.

Ware and Bobby

now he needs to learn how to drop back and cover + be more consistent.


oh and merriman is better than ware.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(bizell @ Jul 3rd ) [snapback]1609095[/snapback]</div>merriman started only 10 games, had 57 tackles and 10 sacks
ware started all 16 games, had 58 tackles and 8 sacks

btw your former backup OLB crowell had 9 TFL's last season. it doesnt really mean a lot.

found video of 9.5 out of Merriman's 10 sacks, and only half a sack came when he simply beat an offensive tackle around the corner. Five of them came when the quarterback was trying to run or scramble and Merriman got to him, and one came when Merriman was completely unblocked. One came when he beat a tight end with an outside rip, and two came when he pushed a guard back near the quarterback and grabbed or tripped him.

Of Ware's eight sacks, four of them came when he blew past an offensive tackle around the corner. One came when he blew past a tight end around the corner. One came when he pushed a fullback backward and got the QB when he stepped up. One came when he pushed an OT back to the QB and got him. And only one of them came when he ran down a QB as he scrambled (and that was after he dumped the OT on his rear end).

I smell a Merriman vs. Ware debate.....Why do you Cowboy fans always bring up Merriman's name up in a Ware thread? It's like you have to convince yourselves you made the correct choice between the two guys 2 years ago.....Can't you just be happy you got a productive player? Both our teams won.....You like Ware better than Merriman.....That's cool, I like Merriman a whole hell of alot better than Ware.....



BTW....What the f*ck difference does it make if Merriman got his sacks chasing down QBs, as opposed to Ware getting his blowing past TEs? What's harder? Sacking McNabb on the run, or blowing past Courtney Anderson en route to sacking Kerry Collins?

Seriously....That's retarded logic.
