3 of our best defensive lineman are out. When you have one of the best blitzers in the game and the rest back up offensive lineman coming at you then you just put 2 guys on the non olineman. When Gregory and Lawrence come back this defense is going to be so much better then yesterdays team. Nobody wants to admit that here.
Yes sir!

Well that was fun while it lasted, opponents have schemed up to Parsons and are chipping him when he pass rushes and pretty much eliminated him out of the game.

P.S. they won’t call holding against him so it’s pointless.


The solution is to have real DEs that can pass rush and let Parsons blitz from various locations.


He was having fun...the defense will get better, it can't get worse.

And he still got home on key plays and had an hurries. When all are healthy we will see I think we running the table from here on out! Positive vibes!

Serious question. Who else in the league is tallying these amounts of pressures/hurries around the league? I guess Watt, Crosby and Garrett????

At this point, you almost expect 1+ sack and 6+ pressures every game from Parsons when he plays DE.

It’s not winning the games, QBs are carving this defense up he needs to play LB and help out on coverage.

If they are going to keep that schedule moving forward, they need to change the rules to allow more active players on game day.


You are exactly right . Teams need bigger rosters with these seasons that start in July go into February . It’s like the battle of the Somme . Need fresh troops.

He might make a contribution . He’s not all pro we’re asking for some pressure that’s all .

He would need to be good on ST to make the game day roster. He's not taking reps from the DE's we have out there now. If the coaches liked him it would have made sense to promote him after RG went down. Maybe next summer he can earn a spot.

Many times they used some kind of martial arts-like move on Parsons to deflect and redirect his momentum away from the ball.

And when he needed to get sacks he didn’t.
He put himself in a position to get "neutralized". I credit the Raiders for finding a way to get that done. Parsons has to be better than that. Maybe with the return of Demarcus Lawrence, they can return Parsons to his shifty LB position and thus be more effective.

Parsons is Lawrence Taylor lite. I can’t believe I’d toss that comparison out 11 games into a career, but dude is a monster, game changer, player that the other team is completely terrified of.

he’s been that good. Whether he’s chipped, doubled, held with no call, whatever, his impact right now is astounding. Not sure what transpired post NE game, but he’s consistently played at a high level for roughly 4-5 weeks now.
He started coming in 1 1/2 hours earlier.

Ummm What game did you watch?

If that’s what you call be neutralized than I’ll take a lot more players who are neutralized.


Let me guess.. You thought Dak was awesome yesterday too?
He watched a game where his hero wasnt playing.
