Twitter: Convince Me Why Micah Parson Should Not Rush The QB 90% Of The Time

He's the only one listed there that isn't a full time pass rusher.

Do the right thing, Quinn. Unleash him.

If rookie Damone Clark was not injured but able to start and play come Week 1, I would be rushing both Micah Parsons and Sam Williams from both edges...nonstop.

Since LVE is still a question mark, Cox is coming off a torn ACL and the rest of the LBs are backup material, this is why Dan Quinn is most likely not to blitz Micah 90% of the time for now.

Is he not already doing that ?



You know with 3-4 scheme and the LBs, such as TJ Watt, it's not always full speed ahead pass rush, .they do occasionally drop into passing lanes to confuse QBs.
But those other 90% of the time, here comes Watt ,.. Von Miller, Matt Judon ,etc., etc.

Well one he is on the smallish side to being fighting big uglies all day. Eventually that will take a toll and you will need to replace at the end of his rookie contract. Before anyone says other guys do it an are smaller but they are OLB in a 3-4, Parsons rushes inside and outside but seldom rushing from a 3-4 OLB position like say a TJ Watt.

He already said he didn't want to be a DE. so that's an easy answer

You don't have to play DE to rush the QB.

TJ Watt doesn't play DE.

Lawrence Taylor remained a linebacker and was with a very strong Giant linebacker group.

I'm not suggesting Parsons move to the line.

I am suggesting that he should rush the QB much more than he does.

LT rushed the QB A LOT. Parsons should never be 15 yards down the field covering a TE2 that's not getting the ball anyways. It's a waste of his abilities.

Get both defensive ends and tackles getting constant pressure and Parsons will indeed become more team supportive and get there more, but at the Coordinator's call.

I think using micah all over the field woth his crazy speed and athleticism would be a disservice to the defense as a unit. Just pigeon holing him into a pass rusher would probably just make the defense as a whole worse.

 

[Flamma]

Think of him like Lawrence Taylor. You use him to rush the passer a lot, but not 90% of the time. He's a good all around player, and should be used as such.

Because teams don't pass 90% of the time

Agreed.
For now, Parsons is Quinns true pass rusher, but Quinns options are rapidly becoming available and he will have more to play with soon.
This defense is being fast tracked and rightfully so.

Looks like @MountaineerCowboy is not getting convinced.

3-4 olb is basically a DE. Not mention steelers don't run a 3-4 on 3 wr sets which is most teams main package.

I've been convinced that maybe 90% is too much, but I don't think I can be convinced that 70% is too much.

Whatever the Giants did with LT should be the blueprint for what the Cowboys do with Parsons.

Agreed, but it all depends on the other LBs and how soon they can be ready to take full-time responsibility roles as LBs, which would allow Dan Quinn to pass rush Micah much more.

 

[john van brocklin]

Sorry , I can't make the argument.
He should be spying the QB every play.

 

[zrinkill]

I cannot ...... You are absolutely right.
