How to use Micah to avoid him tiring out?

[Coogiguy03]

He's our top pass rusher, best defender if you want to say that. We've seen in the last few years how he's been burned out, with that said, how can avoid burnout to make him the best he's ever been. I saw him say in a quote, he's hasn't even reached his prime yet. We shall see when that happens. Please give your thoughts on this

For one thing, when they constantly use him as always pass rushing it's too easy for teams to game plan for him. He should be used for other purposes as well. Then it becomes easier to mask what you're doing. With his speed he should be good for more than just pass rush.

Post of the day!! Same thing I've been saying, we make it so easy for teams to know where he is, to game plan, etc by having him in one place. Maybe we a new guy here, he will get him to be uncomfortable and not buddy buddy and do whatever Micah wants

If we have him mostly rushing the passer every game he’s going to wear down no matter what. He’s having to take on a lot of double teams and he’s also being held a lot. I really don’t see what can be done if we continue having him rush the QB to keep him from flaming out by December and January. The better teams seem to have him figured out because he didn’t show up in any of our big games last season. Other players around him need to step up so the better opponents can’t neutralize him.

Totally agree. Is it him saying he wants to stay there at one place or is it coaching

I think they need to move him to LB at least 1/3rd of the time. Can rush from that spot too, and would be useful to help against runs. Maybe even move him to the other side of the line at times. Just need to move him around so its not as easy to double team him every play.

It’s the coaches that want him to stay there, he’s our best pass rusher. He certainly is going to be telling the coaches where he’s going to play. Zimmer may use him differently and he may not be totally happy with it.

I'll leave that up to Zimmer.

As much as I hate what this team hasn't done in the off-season, the best thing we have done is hire Zimmer. He will get the best out of our D, which means playing them at positions they kind of should be playing. There will be accountability which DQ never seemed to have

You gotta watch his snap count. Give him rest when you can. The only way to keep him ready for late season and playoffs

Micah averaged 51 snaps per game last year. Approximately 50 LB's played more snaps than he did.

As a DE only about 15 played similar or more snaps.


Max Crosby 64
Daniel Hunter 59
Aidon Hutchinson 58
Kayvan Thinodeaux 58
Byron Young 57
DJ Wonnum 55
Zach Allen 54
Josh Allen 52
Carl Granderson 52

I am not sure it is the snap count that is the problem. It is the double and triple teams that is wearing him down.

The Cowboys need to get consistent pressure from the opposite side to require the offense to stop with the double and triple teams.

Or blitz from the same side as Parsons. Not sure why we did not do that frequently.

I'm sorry I think Parsons is the best defensive player in a very long time for us.

And our D still got destroyed by GB.

We can't do it because our guys don't always get to the QB on the blitz

Exactly! He should be played as LB so they can't tell what he's going to do. He has good speed, he could be used against the run, or coverage from side to side. The guy is multi talented, use it!
