Crayton: Ware's in LT's neighborhood

Albert Breer

Patrick Crayton could jaw about Brandon Jacobs all day long. He could rip Michael Strahan. He could question Tom Coughlin.

And it still wouldn't touch what he did say today. He compared DeMarcus Ware to -- sit down before reading this -- the Great Lawrence Taylor. Those in the Tri-State area are not going to like this.

"He is a beast, all the time," Crayton said of Ware. "I think he has the potential to be better than Lawrence Taylor. I know that’s saying a whole lot. You go back and look at their styles and how they play they the game, he may not have that craziness that Lawrence had, but when he’s on the field, you feel for some of the quarterbacks who are sitting there.

"Their (pass) drops are like the old-school drops, straight back, so you can look at him."

And why? Because like Taylor, Ware's burst is unbelievable. So good that Crayton said that the way the Cowboys star OLB gets off the line is like how a receiver can.

"Probably faster, because he’s already in a three-point stance," Crayton said. "The way he shoots out, I don’t what they timed him at in his 10, but I think his 10-yard getoff is pretty quick."
