DeMarcus Ware apparently hid on the sidelines so Greg Ellis could play... seriously.
The article calls DeMarcus Ware "selfless." I, however, see a MAJOR character flaw here in Ware.

Wow what a moron. The Cowboys have some serious discipline issues. Though I guess it’s hard to respect the coaching staff when it’s led by Wade Phillips.

DeMarcus Where?
(am I right?)… anyway, yea… I’ve been trying to wrap my head around this… I wonder if they’ll make him take a mandatory “breather” or unpaid “water break” for this crap, but than I remember their HC is a push over.

Yeah...I dont think so
So face it, if Ware was playing 95 percent of the plays, he sure is lousy at hiding. Hope wife Taniqua is in charge of teaching the kids how to hide.
And worse, she better be in charge of the math lessons, too. I know for a fact Ware participated in 97-point-something percent of the plays, and if we’re rounding out to the closest whole number, that then becomes 98 percent of the plays. Think about that now, Ware only sat out two percent of the 969 plays. That comes to 19.38 plays missed . . . FOR THE ENTIRE SEASON. Divide that over 16 games, and that comes to sitting out an average of 1.2 plays a game.
Even more enlightening would be factoring in the Seattle game. That hyper-extended knee caused him to miss 13 plays in the fourth quarter, or right at 67 percent of all the plays he missed last year. Furthermore, that means in the other 15 games when he supposedly was trying to hide, Ware only missed like six plays – like less than a half-play a game.

Sorry...
Can’t base an argument on some guy that thinks Ware played on 97.something % of the snaps. You know you’re my boy, aussie, but a more conclusive statistic on that would be a much better argument.

Ok, fair enough
Hows this? From the DMN blog
Opponent — Ware snaps/defensive snaps
Cleveland – 50/50
Philadelphia – 67/68
Packers – 66/71
Washington – 73/74
Cincinnati – 68/69
Arizona – 59/59
St. Louis – 64/64
Tampa Bay – 68/68
New York – 71/74
Washington – 57/57
San Francisco – 53/55
Seattle — 60/70 (sat out final 10 snaps after injuring knee)
Pittsburgh – 70/70
New York – 65/67
Baltimore – 71/71
Philadelphia – 59/59
Therefore Ware played 1,021 of 1,046 snaps last season, missing 10 due to injury. He played a total of 97.6 percent of the total defensive snaps.

It doesn’t matter how many snaps Ware missed due to hiding. Even one is too many. A single play can make or break a season, any NFL team should know that.
