Is anyone else tired of Parsons being a normal player?

What would I be completely and utterly wrong about?

This false narrative that you think that I think he sucks at linebacker? Which I don’t.

Not that he sucks at LB, that he would never be an impact player at LB (thus never worth a Top pick).

He's going to be an impact player irregardless of where he plays. And the longer he plays at LB, the more you fear that it isn't a matter of if, but WHEN it happens.

So I get why you are saying he should only rush the passer.

Name something you were wrong about.

Let me help you..

Like something about Dak…..

Ive admitted all year that Dak is playing great and I’ve always viewed him as a guy that gets carried and he has been doing a lot of the carrying this year.

Pay attention if you want to criticize me and stop making things up.

Also, I was never apart of the Dak sucks crowd.

I always said he is a good solid player and I don’t want to pay him elite money because even elite QBs struggle to win anything once they are paid.

But when he can just turn his brain off and chase QBs is when he is a phenom.

His natural pass rush moves and everything are just there.

I don’t mind him playing linebacker. Heck I even think he should play linebacker when we face a mobile QB like Kyler Murray or Pat Mahomes.

But these guys who are stuck in the pocket? It’s just a waste not sending him after them every single time.

You can find a long list of guys who can provide what he currently provides at linebacker.

Im not necessarily disagreeing with you, just saying the best us of his talent is as a Leo.

The coaching staff has figure out the best way to use him and Gregory together as rushers

Btw, here is my thoughts on Tyron Smith before he was even on a NFL radar.

Let's not lose sight of the fact that Parson is like 235-240. He absolutely will not hold up taking on 330 pound tackles and being chipped by tight ends and RBs .. I think using him situationally as a pass rusher is the proper move. Make him go up against tackles for 50 snaps and he will be spent by the middle of the second quarter. Fighting to get away from these behemoths when they get ahold of him takes far more energy than just running sideline to sideline. Parsons' position is LB.. He will get better at LB.. by playing LB. We can still sick him on the QB in situations when needed.. Any more than that and you might get him hurt.

What would we do with Basham?

This is just football common sense, right?

People are getting angry at me for what should just be a common sense opinion lol.

No one is angry dude, they're laughing at you.

It’s so simple. Why do you think the coaching staff can’t see it?

They must be part of a clan of dumbs, huh?

The coaching staff is planning for Lawrence when he eventually comes back and how they can fit all 3 on the field.

IMO, this shouldn’t be about Lawrence and it should be about your roomie phenom pass rusher.

Id kick Lawrence inside on obvious pass downs and let Parsons rush out
Wide more with the occasional A gap blitz with the occasional drop off into coverage just to keep QBs honest.

When we play a team like Arizona than I’d change things up and put Parsons in a position to chase that little Rat QB around all game.

Has anyone else gotten tired of Dallas wasting his talents at linebacker yet and ready to watch him chase QBs again?

Could he be a great linebacker someday? Sure.. But he has a lot of growing to do.

He’s just not making a impact on games anymore and Dallas is helping out opposing offenses playing him this way.

You had legit 1 of the best edge rushers in football and now you have turned him into a mediocre linebacker that we have to hope develops into something sometime down the road.

I just don’t get it and hopefully they come to their senses soon and put him in position to be elite on the field again.

Watching Micah Parsons after the game you can tell he is frustrated with his lack of impact plays and it’s not his fault that the coaches are not putting him in a position for success.

You should apply for a coaching position and school those idiots....

So you have been arguing this whole time for the Cowboys to CONTINUE using Parsons pretty much the way they have?

Play LB, blitz occasionally, and play DE occasionally?

It’s like saying Von Miller wouldn’t hold up on the edge.

Or heck I remember when people thought the same thing about Gregory.

The coaches need to figure it out because right now we are doing QBs are favor.

I 100% agree bro!!!!

I know some people don't like to see posters criticize coaches and their decisions, but I've been saying for weeks that Dan Quinn is hurting both Micah Parsons and our Defense when he aligns Micah back as a LB. You are wasting Micah’s best attributes as a pass rusher. Micah Parsons needs to play along the line of scrimmage and be allowed to rush the passer AT ALL TIMES!!!! Quit being a stubborn coach, Coach Quinn! If you need a coverage LB or pretty much a standard LB, you have outstanding and super talented rookie Jabril Cox! Use him instead as a LB. Micah needs to play along the D-line rushing the QB and stopping the run, not dropped back as a standard LB where his talents are being wasted! It's crystal clear to see at this point.

I don’t even see my opinion as debatable.

You never do, which is the sign of a closed mind.

What did you think was going to happen when Jaylon was cut? It was always going to lead for more reps at LB for Parsons.

Ring6 · Oct 19, 2021

I want the next defense we play to have to guess where everyone will be lined up ... even in game.

Micah is just like TJ Watt in terms of size too.

Watt- 6'4 250
Parsons 6'3 245

And Von Miller.

Parsons has plenty of Size to play edge rusher in the modern NFL.

Micha Parsons comes in as 6'3 248.... TJ Watt is like 6'4 252....not far off....Parson has time to grow into the position....I think Parson is best used like a TJ Watt not a LB like Levonte Smith who is 6'1 230.

If I was Parsons I would want to rush the passer...that were the money is....

Parsons is a LB, will be a LB, and needs the reps at LB at some point. Do we wait until year 5 to do that?

I'll just file this under "If the coaches don't move Martin to RT then they just don't get it" type of take.

What they don’t get is that he played one game at DE against a backup OT. If the game calls for it, he can blitz from anywhere, but I can tell you I want him at LB if we come up against the Ravens, the Titans, or any power run team. Can you imagine only LVE and Neal trying to control those run games or tackle Henry or spy on Jackson?

The coaches need to figure it out because right now we are doing QBs are favor.

One.. Von came into the league at 250 and had been a rush end his entire playing life. He had also been a 3-4 OLB throughout. Two, Gregory demonstrated conclusively when he first game into the league at 235 he was too light in the *** to play NFL DE. He has since put on at least 15 pounds of muscle and NOW he's a legit DE size and power. Still I have no issue with Parsons being a 3-4 OLB when we go to that look. But even you would have to admit that 3-4 OLB is not the same thing as 4-3 DE. To be honest the main issue is that our dline personnel doesn't suit the 3-4. We just aint got enough beef up front to hold up in that alignment. Maybe after Bohanna gets to NFL strength and Gallimore, Osa and Hill mature a bit we could do it but I'm not sure we can do it consistently with what we're sending out there now.
