“It was a totally different team.”
Those were the comments of newly elected Hall of Famer DeMarcus Ware who was at Cowboys camp three weeks ago.
When asked by USA TODAY’s Ralphie Aversa about this year’s Cowboys team with Mike McCarthy now calling plays, Ware was effusive with his praise.
“It was what I wanted to see,” said the ex-Cowboys outside linebacker who amassed 138.5 sacks during an 11-year career which included a Super Bowl 50 win with Denver. “They were doing some really cool stuff with Dak.”
Ware, who left Dallas as the franchise’s all-time sacks leader with 117, could barely contain his excitement for the coming season.
“Sometimes when I leave from over there – it’s a lot of great players, but they’re not all together,” said Ware. “But for the first time they are playing together, they are playing with a lot of enthusiasm. And I’m like man, is this our year?”
In the interview, Ware, who admits to being an “extreme fan,” also praises the leadership of Dan Quinn, Demarcus Lawrence, Micah Parsons, Dak Prescott.
