Dallas Cowboys LB DeMarcus Ware: We are a better team than last year – NFL News
Dallas Cowboys veteran linebacker DeMarcus Ware believes that the franchise has a better squad than last year and that the team has more chances to succeed in the upcoming National Football League (NFL) season.
According to the Dallas Morning News, the linebacker is hopeful of the team’s chances in the 2012 season, but he has also supported the voice of the franchise owner Jerry Jones.
Realising that the Cowboys have not won any title since more than a decade and their playoff performances have also remained below par for quite some time now, Jones admitted considering that the winning window for the Cowboys was closing.
Many Cowboys supporters including players denied the perception that the Cowboys do not stand the chance of winning the championship again and looked optimistic about the team’s chances in the next season.
Jerry was just being realistic, though. The era of 1990s, in which the Cowboys were brilliant, was followed by the time when they Cowboys even struggled to reach the playoffs and they are still doing it; the 2011 season is its prime example.
When Ware was asked about the owner’s statement regarding the closing window, the linebacker did not negate what the owner had said, but he maintained that the team is capable of winning the title.
He said:
“I feel like from my standpoint, we’re a better team than we were last year, and it’s going to show on the field. Jerry saying that the window’s closing, I’m with Jerry. The window can be closing. It closes every year. It just depends on if you’re going
to walk through that door or not. I’m with Jerry on that.”
For the Cowboys, the upcoming season is going to be a real test. They will have to address the issue related to the closing window; they will come with a new defensive strategy hoping it works out well; and quarterback Tony Romo will also have to prove his
critics wrong.
By the looks of the things, the window is shrinking, if not closing, for the Cowboys and if they fail to impress the audience in the 2012 season they will have to face the music. Only time will determine the Cowboys’ fate.
