You don't have to play DE to rush the QB.He already said he didn't want to be a DE. so that's an easy answer
I'm not suggesting Parsons move to the line.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.
Agreed.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.
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.You don't have to play DE to rush the QB.
TJ Watt doesn't play DE.
I've been convinced that maybe 90% is too much, but I don't think I can be convinced that 70% is too much.
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.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.
