Cowboys Quick Hits: Ware Gets Top Four Status

by KD Drummond on Jul 12, 2011 8:00 PM CDT in Dallas Cowboys News

With the real and perceived deadlines to get a labor deal done with enough time to save the season approaching, the news cycle has picked up over the last 48 hours. Not news per se, rather commentary, as it appears that many media members have returned from their summer vacations. We've had a few Cowboys nuggets over the time span, so we should all catch up on the latest to hit the Cowboys newswire.

-- The recent reports of the Cowboys training camp in San Antonio schedule might have just received a 'not so fast my friend'. [CBSSports.com]

-- Dan Graziano muses the thought of the Cowboys cutting Bradie James in his NFC East blog. [ESPN]

-- Deion Sanders has named his Hall Of Fame presenter, and it isn't anyone from the Cowboys. It's his agent Eugene Parker, which is pretty fitting for the NFL's first free agent mercenary. [ESPN]

-- Goal Line Stand, an NFL blog I contributed this Cowboys draft preview to, released their counter to the NFL Network's Top 100 players. In it, the Cowboys DeMarcus Ware shows up at a much more deserving #4 overall. Jason Witten comes in at #23, and Tony Romo comes in at #60. Romo is the last Cowboy listed and the tenth quarterback. Here's a link to the full list.

+188

As evidenced by the actual facts – most sacks by any player since he came into the league.

And he is not one-dimensional like many of his pass-rushing peers – he plays the run well and can defend the pass.

he is so athletic he can play any of the front seven positions effectivley

dude is such a beast if we played the chargers and they tried to split gates wide i would send 94 out there to cover him one on one and jam him up.

chargers would be like “WHAT THE F——-!!!! this never happens” when ware jumps the pass and strolls into the endzone 45 yards later

That 4 spot is MUCH more like it.

I’ll remember Ware’s anger on the NFLN show for a while. I hope he takes it out on the opponents this season and makes Faulk eat his words. Again.

DeMarcus Ware is MVP Worthy

Very few Defensive Players have the skill, effort, make-up, and superior play-making ability to have a legitimate shot at the NFL MVP award…

I doubt there’s any player in the league that would dismiss DeMarcus from that conversation…

Best Cowboys Draft Pick since that running back from Florida!

Go Cowboys!

Goal Line Stand list is sooo much better. Ware certainly deserves Top 5.

Can someone tell Graziano that Lee and Carter aren’t ready for rush hour yet and cutting our best ILB for cap space is not a sound strategy?
