I’m hopping off the Micah train

[Creeper]

It is hard to question the effort of a guy who weighs 240 lbs and is running into guys weighing 320 lbs 20 or 30 times a game.

Quinn needs to do something to give teams a reason not to double team Micah. If a RB lines up opposite him to help the OT then blitz someone up the middle while Micah occupies the OT and RB. But where are the rest of the defensive linemen? If Micah is taking up two guys someone needs to beat his blocker once in a while too.

 

[Walker]

Be nice if Quinn game plans instead of taking a vacation for 6 weeks, because everyone is playing bad.

 

[ESisback]

Now Parsons sucks, Quinn sucks, Dallas sucks, blah blah blah…

Couldn’t POSSIBLY be because we lost 2 starting corners. Plus, Dak has 15 INT’s. Of course, HOFer Eli once threw 27, and he’s got two rings. Dallas is the WORST 12-5 team in the history of the NFL!

With the career he's having so far in his first 2 seasons and fan have the nerve to make a thread like this tells you all you need to know about our fanbase

Pretty much…

 

[Runwildboys]

Blame both Dan Quinn and Micah.

Why would you blame Micah for not having as much success at a position he wasn't meant to play in the first place?

 

[Runwildboys]

If he ends up a zippo in the playoffs...
He's the Dak of the defense.

Adjust accordingly.

A Zippo, as in he'll light a fire!!!...I hope.

Or just get a better DT so teams have to double someone else sometimes

 

[Runwildboys]

All he does is rush up the field!!!! Every play is not a pass play

He does what he's told to do.

Micah does have success playing DE, but he's got to know when to take a break instead of wearing his body down and not lasting the full regular season. Now he will be useless for the playoffs simply because he refused to speak up. Always the warrior but not smart about it. That falls on himself. Micah knows he is 70 pounds lighter and framewise much smaller than opposing Olinemen, so he needs to learn how to speak up and pace himself with enough breathers in between. He also needs to learn how to condition his body better to playing against much bigger Olinemen. That means bulking up and getting stronger while keeping his speed and quickness up.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Man. I knew some fans would end up turning on Parsons at some point. It happens to ALL Cowboys. I mean, just look at what happened with Emmitt.

But turning on the guy in Year 2 when some were proclaiming him the best Defensive Player the Cowboys ever had?

Wow. That was quick.

If he just played football he'd be fine

 

[Reverend Conehead]

Maybe he's being over-played. Maybe he needed a game off to recover from injuries.

 

[jwooten15]

He’s injured. Should have been rested for 2 games. Playing for personal accolades.

Not sure why the staff was willing to let such a valuable asset keep playing with so many small ailments. I think 2-3 weeks off would have done wonders. Too late now though

 

[xwalker]

The kid has talent, he does.

But he’s been invisible for 6 weeks and his on-field demeanor is so unbelievably negative and disinterested.

I get that he’s banged up, but he is playing with zero passion.

He loves all of the positive media attention he gets and I think it’s gotten to his head.

He’s on 2-3 podcasts per week, then goes and plays in a game and can’t even get 2-3 tackles. Then goes and sulks on the sidelines.

He’s only a dawg when things are going good. But when things get tough, he’s invisible.

I wouldn’t sign him to a second contract unless he signs for a massive hometown discount.

You probably paniced and sold Apple stock when it dipped to ~$3.00 in 2008...

 

[Toro9]

As much as I love Doc Holliday,

Micah might be hitting a wall, but it's not brick. He'll find his way through the plywood. After that, it's all drywall.

 

[LifetimeBoysFan]

Because this bang up and triple team you’re jumping off his train? Because this bang up and triple team you’re jumping off his train?Maybe I don’t know or understand what train

No, I’m not. I’m saying don’t jump too soon. He has reasonable excuses for the stat drop off. It was directed towards the OP’s rationale for jumping ship.

 

[Cmac]

He's becoming a Twitter MVP ......that worries me.
