Barring any significant injury, the Dallas Cowboys should make way for a NEW all-time sack leader. And yes, you guessed it, DeMarcus Ware.
Harvey Martin has held the record since his retirement in 1983 with an impressive 114 sacks that he accrued in a 10 season career with Dallas. Ware is currently chomping at the bit with 111 sacks (impressive since he’s only been with the team 8 seasons), needing only 4 to surpass Martin. “Easy”, you might say, and most would have no reason to doubt that it will happen. That said, Ware underwent shoulder surgery this off-season and has been working lucratively to get back to 100% in an effort to be in the position to take the sacks “crown”.
Mid-way through summer OTA’s and mini-camps, he stated “Everything is healing just fine, overall I’m at about 85% and feeling better as time goes by”. Now, with only 3 days until the start of training camp, Ware has use of both arms, a mended wrist, a healed hamstring and multiple other improvements. Seeing that the Cowboys are switching to a more pass-rush (at least for Ware) focused 4-3 defense under new D-Coordinator Monte Kiffin, we should DEFINITELY keep our eyes peeled this season for a white and blue blur with the #94 screaming into the backfield in pursuit of not only the team sack record, but possibly… the single season record?!
