Defense work ethic

Amazing what cultural change can do ......

......and that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you get **** done.

Love Parsons. Taking the initiative on his own to make the proper changes to his game. Heck, from that conservation it seems that Parson was coach and Quinn was the player.

Tip of the hat to Parsons
He is not happy to be good, he wants to be great.
And willing to put the time in.

Just awesome. He was incredible against the Vikings.

 

[Whirlwin]

He loves the game. You’re going to succeed at anything that you love. I think that’s the real difference

 

[glimmerman]

He is putting in the work. It shows on the field.

Guy is a great athlete but instead of getting by on his natural talents he knows to take the next step it take work and film study. It is like having a much more athletic Sean Lee on the team. When I would watch Lee he always seemed to know where the ball was going based on what he was seeing in an offensive formation. Parson is showing this but brings a ton more athletic ability, it is going to be fun watching this guy grow as a player

That’s also coaching. How many times have this defense been beat by bootlegs? Vikings had the right game plan…they just didn’t know what to do once that wasn’t there for them.

And the bonus added to what Parsons did to improve in the Vikes game will ultimately filter down to the rest of the defense. If there are slackers, it will become evident and the players will hold that guy accountable.

Dak has shown the same resiliency and determination, and it appears the offense has stepped up it's game as Dak gives 100% to improve his game.

This is a more than one year culture, I suspect.

A nice change of pace from the entitled likes of Jaylon and LVE

 

[CouchCoach]

You ever in a can't wait to get to work mode? It's a great feeling and no longer just a job.

If he'd been on that D last season, I wonder if he feels that way?

Culture change is dead on. Their confidence in Quinn has resulted in increased confidence in themselves as players and the concept of team defense.

Parsons results were immediate. In the second half, those Vikings OL and Cousins were asking themselves "who in the hell is THAT GUY? Anyone want to block him"?

If you didn't watch Parsons at Penn St the last season he played, you missed something at Linebacker U because he could end up being the best one they ever produced. He played faster than everybody on the field.

If he develops Sean Lee's football IQ he will be in the GOAT conversation.

yeah Parsons will take on a lead dog role next season once he’s not a rookie and has proven he’s the best player on D. He’s not going to let slacking happen, I don’t get the sense.

I'm teary eyed reading this.

The people that wrote the draft reports I read really need to consider different careers...

But I thank them dearly for their role in making 11 teams pass on him....the number on that back.

 

[Proof]

pretty dang cool

 

[fivetwos]

Next he will figure out how to rush and drop into coverage at the same time.
