No. He rushed the QB he just didn't get home. Ill trust the judgment of Quinn who has turned this defense around. Nobodies wasting anyone's potential.

we played prevent for most of the game as we went up, may be that is a reason. ( I hate prevent but leave it to better football minds )

We're wasting Micah's potential by not having him rush the QB more.

We got zero sacks and not much pressure at all yesterday. It looked like the Tampa Bay game, which was also the other game where Micah seemed to never rush the passer.

We're not, the guy is a really good lb to and we won. He's the fastest lb we have to guard these RBs and actually plug the right gap

I figured this would happen. When we got rid of Jaylon many asssumed this meant more snaps for Cox. It just means more snaps for Parsons at linebacker…..which is fine honestly he needs the reps at linebacker. I just want more for Cox as well.

Cox needs more reps. Don't be scared, homie.

Right. People keep forgetting Micah is a linebacker…..

Done get me wrong, i think MP is a Great LB, but we were really lacking in QB pressure and Sacks yesterday. This is where MP was missed on the DL attacking QB.

IMO, we need him back at Rush LB/DE and Give LVE Neal and Cox more snaps at lb. Not sure who's backing them up but it seems thin to me.

when you have MP and Gregory coming off the edge and with Odigi it just seemed to be more pressure in previous games.

Will Micah's body hold up to playing DE more? Not sure he can take 17 games consistently rushing the QB

i been cautioning the same thing… The moment a 320lb pound man drives him to the ground and lands on him.. The Micah to DE talk will end.

Stick to the script: Parsons was drafted to play MLB because the run defense was horrible, plus he had some pass rush ability.

If you move Parsons to DE the middle of the run defense is back to trash when it's solid with #11 in the middle. I trust the DEs to do their job more than LVE to plug the middle... I think DQ does too.

Granted, LVE played a good game vs Giants.

I agree. I don't think Dallas had any sacks yesterday and that pocket collapses a lot faster when MP is rushing

Would like to see #14 with more reps and hopefully his workload on D will grow sooner than later.

But there was a lot of holding that was not called, especially against Gregory who was held quite a bit.

THIS! On both the 38 yard and 18 yard completions there were OBVIOUS holds by the Giants. I mean...OBVIOUS. For the life of me, I'll not understand why SOMEONE didn't get in the refs faces about it. Even my wife, who knows as much about football as I know about crocheting, mentioned it.

But no one said squat!

I expect Cox to be taking reps from LVE going forward.

I would like to see Cox get a few reps from Parsons to give him a rest every once in a while. Parsons is playing almost every snap on defense. He will wear out at this pace.

My POV - on a clear passing down (3rd and >6), if the offense is in 11, I'd like to see the following:

DL - Osa, Gholston
Edge - Parsons, Gregory

LB - Cox, Neal

DBs - Diggs, Brown, Lewis, Kearse, Kazee/Hooker

I wish the Cowboys would forget it too.

His impact is dwindling.

Disagree. There was a play, I think in the 3rd or 4th, where it was a TD if Parsons doesnt make the tackle. He's making plays off the ball too.

His impact is dwindling yet the defense is winning games.

He might be a beast, but he doesn't have the build to constantly take being a DE full time. We need him at LB. He was drafted to be a LB. Don't forget that he's still a rookie. People with crazy expectations for a rookie around here. SMH.

He’s a rookie and didn’t play last year. Not worried about him yet.

I don't think it's fair or accurate to say his impact is dwindling.
