And I'm saying this because it could take opportunities away from Parsons being at the line of scrimmage as an edge rusher. I think Parsons is so dominate at the LOS that he may end up there permanently next year if Lawrence becomes a cap casualty. Right now once Gregory returns it will be him and Lawrence at D-end so you'll see a lot of Parsons at LB and most likely be blitzing between the tackles and I don't like that nearly as much as when he's on the edge dominating the tackle one on one.

In all my time here. This wins the prize for dumbest post.

DLaw was played a lot at DT in obvious passing situations against the Saints. No way that won't be the case pretty regularly once 94 is back. The edge rushers will be 11 and 94 for sure.

Now if Basham and Armstrong are limiting Parsons snaps as an edge rusher...we all should be up in arms.

Keep in mind that Tank and Gregory will need some rest now and then. Parsons can fill in a play here and there. Then consider that now Parsons would have either Gregory or Tank on the other end. Usually it's just him with a backup DE on the other side.

Nah...i believe we will see them all swapped all over the line on 3rd and long. They all can rush from outside and inside. Can never have enough rushers...

It will only help Parsons because they won't be able to key on him.
Plus they are really going to be able to target mismatches.

It’s threads like this that make it so difficult to figure out if fans are being serious or they’re just looking for a laugh.

I think Parsons is best at LB on run downs and an edge rusher in pass rushing situations.
