Cowboys star Micah Parsons reveals harsh reality of playing ‘trench warfare’

[Doomsday101]

going AFTER?? that's a factual observation, seriously this place goes "after" all our stars on the dailty .lmao good try i luv MP but he is still maturing body mind and sole going from no football in 2020 to 17 games league where hes the MAN and hes giddy when its all going well, seems to be slumping and pouting..

Ironic how much Prescott, Zeke, Lamb and other get torn a part on here but MP is Teflon????..wait until hes making 25MIL that will change LOL saw it with Tank, these game where hes not producing, once that $$$ is out there, sharks will come out to feed in the zone..

Im standing by my statements.

BTW oh LBs don't get hurt ask LVE and Lee how that goes,
BTW somehow making him a LB again will fix his body , what did he talk to xavier woods about no way you can go 100% on every play..maybe hes was correct, that didnt go over well here but thats what 11 is asking for )

I don't rip any of the players, I'm a fan of these guys. They put their butts on the line each and every weekend for the Cowboys. What I am not a fan of is our fans. We have the most obnoxious fans in the league. Whiners. I'm standing by my statements? you can stand in traffic for all I care. Parson is a hardnosed player who puts it on the line each and every game. Those who can do and those who can't criticize

right DQ all of Sudden got stupid.. lmao genius to stupid. nothing to do with 11 at all..must be the coaches.. nothing to do with teams have adjusted.,.one of his worst games of the season was the first 3 qtrs of the eagles game and he played more LB than DE in that game.

You do realize the Eagles entire game plan on offense that game was running at Parsons and negating our pass rush right? You think LVE has the speed to spy Hurts? lol come on man

OK whatever apparently you are wearing blinders, the zone does this on the daily,

i am stating a fact from observations. you don't like it you respond as if i turned on a payer,.all facts,.

 

[cnuball21]

Been taking about this as a concern all year.

Parsons isn’t big enough to take on the beating of being an every down DE.

Keep playing with fire and the Cowboys are going
to ruin this kid.

I know what takes place here daily. you are stating your opinion and acting as if it is fact. Do not confuse your own opinion as some greater fact. It is not.

However, it has been different in the past two games. Not only has Parsons failed to record a sack against the struggling Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans, but he also just had one QB hit and zero tackle for loss in that span.

Off the ball LB. That's just what he is.

We did the same thing to Ratliff, ruining his career for a couple good years at NT.

 

[rags747]

They should put him back at LB and let him heal up a bit. Unleash him again in the playoffs.

Agreed, play lb and they can blitz him from there just as was done with Lawrence Taylor. I do not recall LT playing DE.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

They clinch the playoffs, he should sit last game IMO

 

[The Natural]

Yea you can tell, he’s pouting, limping, or grabbing at something every other play.

This is a perfect example of why fans shouldn't pretend to be coaches. To all of the people that wanted Micah at DE 90 percent of the time. Here are the results.

Many of us were saying this all along. It's not a knock on Micah. It's just simple physics.

 

[Creeper]

I am starting to worry about Micah. He looks like he is not playing with the same motor he was playing with at the beginning of the season. He looks frustrated, hurt or dealing with low morale or something. I don't know but early in the season he could not be denied, not he kind of makes his first move and if it doesn't work he kind of gives up. I will say this, the guys gets more abuse with no flags than any player I have seen. The Texans held him, shove hands into his face and throat, and even cut him at the knees a few times. I can see why he is frustrated. The refs are not protecting him at all.

 

[817Gill]

That’s what us fans who don’t want him at DE every play are trying to say. We act like we don’t have other DE’s who can rush the passer when we do.

More off ball stuff for 11 please!

 

[tyke1doe]

Huh?

Aren’t the coaches the ones that have Micah actually playing DE 90% of the time?

That’s precisely what Micah’s talking about.

I think he meant all the fans saying Micah should play on the line more as a DE.
But I get what you're saying: Quinn is responsible for Micah playing all those snaps as a DE.

The Cowboys defensive star admitted that playing the “trench warfare” is starting to take a toll on his body. He told Von Miller on The VonCast that playing more of a linebacker last year was better for his body, but it’s quite different this 2022 as Dallas seemingly uses him as a defensive end more often–despite Parsons’ insistence that he’s still a linebacker.







“People don’t understand that trench warfare. I’m not gonna lie, when I was playing LB a whole lot last year, my body was way more fresh. There were some plays I wouldn’t get touched. When you’re on the line, you’re getting touched every play,” the 23-year-old shared, via Jon Machota of The Athletic.







Just like his rookie year in 2021, Micah Parsons had a brilliant start to his campaign this 2022. Through the first 12 weeks of the season, he accumulated 12.0 sacks as he made his presence felt for the Cowboys.







However, it has been different in the past two games. Not only has Parsons failed to record a sack against the struggling Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans, but he also just had one QB hit and zero tackle for loss in that span. For comparison, he had five QB hits in Week 11 against the Minnesota Vikings, and prior to Weeks 13 and 14, there was just one other game when he failed to register a tackle for loss (in Week 8).

Well... no ****. I have saying this post after post. Some dummies think he is a DE. Tossing him against the biggest baddest dude on the other team negates what he is great at. It takes his speed away and screws with his instinctive personality.

 

[JBond]

That’s what us fans who don’t want him at DE every play are trying to say. We act like we don’t have otter DE’s who can rush the passer when we do.



More off ball stuff for 11 please!

Yep....

 

[MarcusRock]

There were some plays I wouldn’t get touched. When you’re on the line, you’re getting touched every play,

On this doll of a LB, point to the place where the Terrible Offensive Tackle hurt you.


Sorry, couldn't resist. Lol.

 

[Doomsday]

Against the Vikings, he was sitting out on first down quite a bit and I figured it was to keep him a bit more fresh as teams run on Dallas a lot of first down and he is built like an LB (245 lbs), not a DE. It was also the first game they made him a full-time DE as he mostly played off the ball vs the Packers the previous week. Having 300-pound linemen leaning on you every play at 245 pounds has to take its toll.

They are wasting his talents lining him up at RDE most of the game, he needs to be moving around making it difficult for defenses to figure out where he is and how to account for him. It leads to confusion on the offensive line and creates opportunities for other players as well.
