08:59 AM ET 02.18 | Cowboys defensive end Jason Hatcher said the team's defense has everything it needs except one: There is no one to lead them. NFL Network analyst Warren Sapp had criticized DeMarcus Ware, the Cowboys' best player, for his lack of leadership before the 2011 season. "Dude, I've got to be honest with you: That's a good question," Hatcher said. "I really don't know. It's just another thing we really need. We don't have that. We've got the talent. We've got everything we need [except] a Ray Lewis. When Ray Lewis speaks, everybody listens to him. A guy like that, we really don't got that. I think we definitely need somebody like that."

A real GM should be at the top of the list of team needs but keep banging your head against the wall for that to happen.

Well Hatch. Go out and knife someone. Then maybe you can be the leader.

Now be fair Ray Ray didn't actually do the knifing just helped in the getaway

Most teams don't have a Ray Lewis.

The Patriots and Giants just played in the Super Bowl. Do either of them have a guy like Ray Lewis?

Sounds like the old E.F. Hutton commercials.

Are they trying to say that Rob Ryan's Bloated Ego and Waistline are not enough?

February 18, 2012  09:36 AM ET

A guy like that, we really don't got that.

They really don't got grammar either.

(take it away Stu.)

Since almost all of DeMarcus Ware's scks come in road games, maybe the simple answer is to play all the games away?

Wouldn't hurt having some vocal leqdership on Defense.

Maybe someone would put a burr in Hatcher's ass.

Question for Mr Hatcher...Why don't you step up and take a leadership role?

Because he would be laughed at.

He is "a guy"...

Just another sign of leadership. The guy calling the shots rarely commits the murder himself.

Heck, The way everyone gets defensive when JJ babbles to the media you'd think defensive leadership would be what they have to much of

They made their money the old fashioned way.



They stole it.

The Cowboys need a new owner, a new coach and a whole bunch of talented defensive players.

In that order.

DaMarcus Ware is getting paid enough....he can take leadership classes
