I can't help but think we're misusing Parsons by making him play LB so much and being taken out of plays because of it.

He should be rushing the passer 80% of the time at least.

Saw a lot of people talk about replacing Kazee (what he allegedly did wasn’t good btw) but he pops up alot on that sheet. Had a bad moment or two vs NE but he’s been solid all season.

We have no choice at this time but to play Parsons at LB due to letting Jaylon go. Until someone else can show that they are better than Parsons I fear he will get most of the reps

Congratulations, now the Cowboys are giving up 8 yards a pop in the run game.

Jaylon was a non factor. LVE isn't stopping the run very well, so Micah is stuck at MLB.

On topic, looks like another DE needs to step up and get some pressure.

Jaylon was a factor because he allowed Parsons the freedom to be more of a pass rusher in Quinns eyes.....clearly

He's not physically built for that...Quinn needs to send strategically.....

I don't know why this is the case but for some reason Cox isn't getting many reps since Jaylons' departure and it seems like Micah is getting more reps at linebacker. Not entirely sure why that's the case of a Jaylon departure.

LT wasn't physically built for it either, but it worked out.

LT is in a class all by himself and he played in an era where OL were sloths and built for run blockings.....completely different......

Because he's a linebacker.....

Haha, I see what you did

LVE, Neal and Cox are WLB. Parsons is the only MLB. LVE is masquerading as a MLB. Also, Kearse is getting plenty reps in the big nickel.

I agree, I’m not sure why Cox isn’t getting more snaps. But that’s where we need him right now

 

[INCowboysFan]

probably because he hasn't earned the coaches trust to be out there more than a few snaps a game. It's likely that he's a 4th round rookie that is currently struggling with getting up to speed as an NFL linebacker and he probably isn't as good as many want him to be yet.

and who is going to play LB? have you seen LVE lately? without Parsons our LB core is really really bad.

Also nursing a groin injury that game.

LVE has been bad, Neal has been worse.

Neal doesnt even show up on stat sheet because he's been terrible vs. both run and pass.

 

[BAT]

Parsons is 2nd in pressures for a part time pass rusher.

He's built for it just fine.

Why are there no stats for interceptions?
