I'll take "out of their minds" for $1,000, Alex.
Lol
I’ll tell you what though, if you put him in and just used him as a decoy, the defense would definitely be scrambling around trying to figure it out for sure

230, you say.
Hmm.
The bar is 45 lbs.
To get to 225 you put (2)45 lb. plates on each side.
So, you're claiming to add 2.5 lbs to get to 230.
Never have I ever seen that done in a gym in 25+++ years.
You'd get laughed out of the free-weight area and told to
go back to nautilus weights with the kids and grannys.

I call BS.

Let's get Zeke snaps at LB...

Have you seen that video of Zeke covering kicks as a frosh at Ohio State? Might not be a bad idea.. We know he's physical and will hit people.. But he'd need to put on 20 pounds just to have a chance against pulling guards.. at which point he'd be slower than they are..

FB in front of Pollard.
Giggity!

If he weren't so valuable at DE, I'd say go for it.

Put Parsons at running back and let's see what he can do.

I don't care what the risk are. My curiosity Trumps everything.

Micah Parsons when asked about taking a snap at running back during practice: “That might be something that’s coming up,” he said while smiling. “I don’t know. Maybe I’m just taking snaps.”

There is nothing to this story, reporter asking Parson about taking snaps a RB, nothing more than talk

I think you could get increments of 10 on the old Universal machine. Those gym machines can fool you... A few years ago our company gym had one of those benches with the guides on the side and that damn thing would allow you to bench a good 50-75 pounds more than you could with free weight.. I found out the hard way when I pumped up over 400 pounds on that machine and started feelin myself.. Then one day while I was at home working out in my garage I piled every plate I owned onto the bar.. It was about 340-ish. It was a struggle just to get it off the rack which should have been my first clue. That thing came crashing down on my chest and damn near killed me. It took every ounce of strength I had just to wiggle it back up to the rack. I didn't even both trying to lock it out.. I was just grateful that I survived..

It’s doubtful that the Cowboys would give Parsons significant snaps at RB. But if it’s a tight game, win or go home, why wouldn’t you want the game to be decided using your best player?

Maybe he’s a decoy? Maybe he’s not. Who knows. But you have to have the ‘nads to pull out all the stops. MM has shown he will do that and it often works.

The last person I would bet against is Parsons. When you’re the best player on the field the game is your oyster. Anyone remember Jordan playing Center for a game?

No. But I remember Magic playing center in a playoff game and throwing up 39.

Nobody doubts that Parsons can do it. It's just not smart to risk the best edge player in the league at RB. No position takes a greater pounding. No position is less important. No position is more replaceable.

I would only want Parsons to take reps at the goal line. Like in a playoff game or something
