good one.

good one.

I agree with the article as well, Spencer gave Bob some pretty good shots too........

 

[KillaWatt]

Pretty sure he hasn't faced JJ Watt yet......

I am pretty sure ware is a future HOF, but I wouldn't say he is the scariest defensive player in the nfl today; I think watt has taken over that unofficial title.

I thought it was the top of Ryan Clark's helmet.

Let's not forget Ware had no business being on the field that night. He should've been in a hospital bed he was so banged up.

he was hurt, but healthy enough to play. Lets also not forget Rg3 was playing at 75% and probly shouldnt have been playing.

Not to mention that's as much on Rob Ryan's scheme as anything. Ware is a pass rusher not a run stopper.

I would suggest if all you can do is rush the passer then said player is a primadonna and therefore cannot be the scariest player. James Harrison is way more the intimidator than Ware.

Prima donna? That doesn't really make sense. Harrison isn't all that different from Ware so the 2 are interchangeable.

Personally I think Suh is the scariest. That mother fucker has some screws loose.

Not hardly bud. Harrison is solid against the run, gets after the QB, and also drops into coverage on a regular basis. Ware really is a one trick pony. And yes I would have Suh in the argument as well. My point wasn't to say Harrison is the scariest is was more to point out it clearly wasn't Ware.

Ware > Harrison.

That is all.

Dude.... Ware is great against the run, especially making tackles one-on-one in space. He's one of the best run-stopping OLBs in the league.

Huh? So let's see if I understand your wittle list. Dallas "according" to the list had two of the best run stopping LBs in all the land. Yet we're terrible against the run and ranked 22nd in the game against the run. Seems to suggest maybe that list is worthless.

Individual's prowess =/= team success.

Your LBs can be great against the run and make plays near the LOS when given the opportunity to make a play on a RB (Like Ware does), but if your d-line gets gashed the overall team's run defense wont be great. FB 101.

This is really a pointless conversation. Anyone that watches the cowboys (how do you not? they're on every week) knows how complete of a player Ware is. Me thinks you just got caught talking out your ass by saying he's not good against the run, because he certainly is.

Let's no forget they lost their leafing tacklers Bruce Lee...
