All Micah needs is one big game to wrap it up.

Nice man. Thanks for posting this.

It’s basically a 2 man race and a toss up at that.

 

[Stash]

He needs Quinn to play him going forward from here on out. No more of that pure drop-back linebacker stuff like we saw against the Giants. It's a waste of the player and his abilities to limit him like that.

 

[JBS]

Steelers not getting in the playoffs and Dallas having a great great season should be the difference maker here. But who knows if that’s how it will play out.

From a tactical perspective this just doesn’t make any sense. Straight Xs and Os - how do you suppose Quinn should do this?

He got A LOT of respect and publicity when he covered the WR in that game...that's something Watt could never do.

 

[JohnsKey19]

If the Dallas defense is able to corral Kyler Murray, Micah will surely play a big part in that. And that will essentially wrap up the DPOY award.

I'm not understanding the question?

That was an impressive one play. But it is sacks that will earn him - or anyone else who gets it - the honor. Take a look at the list of contenders and it's easy to see that they're on that list because of splash plays, not passes defensed.

you said Quinn needs to play him going forward from here on out. So what changes need to happen for him to play going forward from here on out?

If it's only sacks, there is no way he can catch Watt.....I guess it's over.

I get the want for him to rush every play, but from a tactical standpoint, wouldn't having the offense guessing at whats comming with him be better? I expect him to start getting some picks soon from dropping into hot route lanes as QB's notice this pass rush. A good case can be made for both i suppose.

LOLLLL at T.J. Watt being the front-runner.

I knew it.


In 2008, When DeMarcus Ware had 20 sacks and outplayed James Harrison, the excuse for why Harrison easily won DPOY was, “Well, Ware’s team isn’t very good and the Steelers D is also ranked higher than the Cowboys D!”

(Never mind the fact that Drew Brees won OPOY and the Saints had the same 8-8 record we did... the new standard for DPOY is that team success counts!!! But it doesn’t apply to OPOY for some reason!!!)

Earlier this season, someone here created a thread about the DPOY award. I brought up the 2008 season and concluded that they will NOT give the award to a Dallas Cowboy unless they absolutely have to.

Fast forward to 2021... and now T.J. Watt is the favorite... because even though the Steelers are .500 (like 2008 Ware’s team was), and even though the Steelers D is inferior to ours, WATT HAS THE MOST SACKS SO HE’S DPOY!!!

So, so predictable.

..thats what I will say too. Which player made that much difference to their team.

Dallas being last in D, to almost Great D next year.

 

[jazzcat22]

199 of the 200 is bias for Steelers is why Watt is in the lead.

 

[Stash]

you said Quinn needs to play him going forward from here on out. So what changes need to happen for him to play going forward from here on out?

Play calls that involve him in coverage should be called less often than those allowing him to rush the passer. Let LVE or Neal or Kearse handle coverage responsibilities and have Parsons do what he does best.

 

[aikemirv]

Parsons will be spying on Sunday- maybe he will get a sack but we will see.

 

[Loso86]

All Micah needs is one big game to wrap it up.

Parsons being a big factor why we are in the playoffs should help.

I understand this. But how are you actually going to do this? It sounds genius in theory. Now let’s make it practical. You are going to play him at DE more?

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

I want him to win this so bad.

I hope he gets after the QB these next two games and locks it up.

A nice two sack game with FF or an INT will lock it up.
