Baldy on the MPP (Micah Parsons Problem)

He's very well could be the best defensive player in the league.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Anything less than him rushing the QB 90% of the time is Dan Quinn using him wrong.

Let him get back there and create chaos.

How they utilized him vs Minn was a healthy dose.

But get him out of the game when it has been decided. Records aren't as important as post season success.

 

[DenCWBY]

He's definitely the motivational leader of this team and set the tone the first series of the game. The others (Williams, Armstrong, Odi, Kearse) starting to follow suit.

Slow your roll. I think Xavier Woods has something to say about that.

I'm not gonna tell, you tell him!

Get him on the phone!!

The wrestler?

Do electronics work around Micah?

His snaps needed to be less yesterday. He was in there way too long.

The guy hobbles after every game and there’s an important one four days away.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

It’s sucks because he shoulda had 3 sacks. I think he got filled by Cousins arm motion and thought he released the ball and let him go, lool.

Glad to see Quinn not dropping him into coverage this week. What a difference.

That was the weirdest thing ever.

Exactly. This is the kind of stupidity that really has plagued this team and I don't get it. If you are winning 37-3 and have another football game in 4 days, rest some guys! Micah did not need to play one snap in the 4th quarter.

One of the things, which I think you might have mentioned in another post, is the way the team featured the run and passed off that attack. Or perhaps my Geritol is kicking in this morning. Play action was a well oiled machine in the Mary Tyler Moore coliseum.

But doesn't the mystery of what Parsons is going to do on the next play an advantage for the Cowboys? If the team Dallas is playing knows he will be rushing the passer, it appears they have been double and triple teaming him out of the play. But if he is lined up off the ball, he still has the option to blitz, Which is essentially rushing the passer.

He got a sack yesterday from the middle linebacker position.

Understanding that they were quick-setting, so I kind of went power to outside (pass rush),” Parsons explained. “I was able to get the edge on him. (Cousins) tried to extend the play. Obviously, we’re hunting, so you ain’t getting far. We’re coming from the backside. I was able to get the ball loose. We recovered and made that statement in the game.”

The Cowboys only managed a field goal off the turnover, but Cousins and the talented Vikings offense never looked right after that tone-setting play.

“(Parsons) put that pressure on him early and (Cousins) knew it was going to be there all day,” DeMarcus Lawrence said. “Shout out to Micah for opening up the gates. Ever since that first hit, he wasn’t the same.

“I think the change was he was going through all his reads but he was patting the ball a lot. When you do that, you ain’t got enough time against our D-line. There’s too much speed up front.”

Parsons agreed.

“I saw a big difference,” he said. “(Trying to get) the ball out quicker. He was way more hesitant. Obviously, early pressure creates problems. I think it definitely caused problems in their passing game, especially from where they were trending at and what we were able to accomplish today, it just lets you know what this defense can do.”

"This is how it should be every week,” Parsons said. “There shouldn’t be a gap. We should play sound football. We’re showing what we’re capable of, we flash it, but we got to consistently do it. Consistency wins championships, not flash. If we’re able to do that, we could go really far.”

"I play at a higher level when I get mad,” Parsons said. “From last week, this was a statement for me. It had nothing to do with anybody else. I took it personally. I got to play better. I got to do more. I need to make a statement on my own. No one else needs to do it. That’s just how I’m built. If you get smacked in the face, what are you going to do about it?”

There was a scary moment for the Cowboys late in the third quarter as Parsons got his left knee rolled up on by several linemen. He had the knee examined in the blue medical tent and was able to return. After the game, he described it as a “quick shock” that he never felt before.

“My health is great,” Parsons added. “My knee is cool. I’m going to continue to get rehab, continue to get healthy so we can keep playing great football.”

He needs to get his head on straight.

I remember the last time someone brought up needing to limit the snaps by Micah and some bozo said that might make him pout or something stupid like that.
When you have a truly unique player like Micah, you do not treat him like every other player, you keep an eye on snap count; watch him and when he looks tired you rest him.
AND ABOVE ALL ELSE WHEN IT IS 37-3 in the 4th qtr HE DOES NOT NEED TO BE IN THE GAME
Especially since he is NOT 100%.
