Cowboys outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware visited with NFL.com analysts Steve Wyche and Bucky Brooks on their podcast this week.
He dished on defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, wide receiver Dez Bryant, the Cowboys' leadership, the player-run workouts and head coach Jason Garrett. Here's a sneak peek at what Ware said:
On the team dynamic: "If you look at our team, it's a whole bunch of leaders in general, not a guy like Ray Lewis who takes over a team or Peyton Manning who takes over the team. It's a whole team thing. [Quarterback Tony] Romo's one of the guys. We had a meeting and said, 'Hey, we have to have OTAs. We have to bring all the guys together,' and the guys listened. That's what leadership is about, guys listening to guys who have been there long enough and sort of established themselves. When you can have everybody show up when they don't have to show up, that's what we're trying to do."
On Bryant: "All the things he's done off the field or whatever, he's out there trying to do better. He's at the OTA sessions getting balls from Romo, getting closer with Romo, figuring each other out. He was running routes a month ago, and it was not a problem like the injury didn't hurt him. I think he's going to be a great asset next season."
On Garrett: "You go from Wade Phillips, which is a guy, he's more tailored to the older guys and developing younger guys. Then you have a younger coach come in, which is Jason Garrett, he's more of the Bill Parcells-type guy. He likes putting the pads on. He likes doing a whole bunch of the fundamental stuff and just focusing on that, doing the right things and just little things like that. Maybe that's what we needed; maybe it's not what we needed."
