I’m hopping off the Micah train

[PaulieWalnuts]

2 years in the league…26.5 sacks. Care to name how many other players have reached that feat? Will be a First-team All-Pro for a 2nd straight season.

 

[Grenic]

gonna be a two time all pro in two seasons and this is the guy were complaining about?

When he does little to help you win the last 6 weeks yea, he is going to want DE money and you cant have a DE that small and get paid to.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

He legitimately gets pressure one out of every 2-3 drop backs. Teams has just smartened up and are getting the ball out quickly.

Maybe it’s up to the d coordinator to adjust?

Also how about playing him at LB some? Can’t hurt.

Dan Quinn made his season on Micah parsons talent…. And keeps running the same defense out there every game. No adjustments

I said weeks ago that Dan Quinn needs to find a way to counter teams who are getting the ball out quickly to subdue the pass rush. And Dan Quinn hasn't been able to do it yet.

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.

The league has figured how to control Parsons and it shows week in and week out that he needs to be a FULLTIME LBer in the NFL It was great while it lasted, but all good things come to an end.

Bye.

 

[Jason 82 Witten]

No wonder people laugh at Cowboys fans

 

[Cmac]

What he gonna tweet this week.......left lanes open for QB to move the chains because he was out of position?

 

[Whiskey Cowboy]

Then he either bulks up but that would kill his speed or go back to LB where he is not great at all, or we go to 3/4 just for him.

He's still very young and has alot of growing to do. He was excellent last season attacking from all angles and positions. I wish they would've utilized him in a similar role this season rather than pigeon holing him into a full-time edge role when DE is adequately staffed.

 

[flyinghorse]

Parsons doesn’t look 100%…..every time I see a close up of him he looks winded or tired. Something just doesn’t look right……He doesn’t look well…

 

[john van brocklin]

He has not made a big play in a looooong time… But with a big ego, and a penchant to disappear when the games matter most— he is absolutely on the right team.

Ouch!
But true.
This culture is not good for players

 

[stilltheguru]

I'm not off the train I just think he needs to shut up sometimes

 

[Beast_from_East]

#11....12 Sacks the first 11 games....1.5 sacks the last 6 games.

I think he is playing hurt and it goes beyond the hand, he just doesnt look right compared to earlier in the season.

With that being said, he is still our best defensive player on the team.

 

[diamonddelts]

..well, at least the Lawrence Taylor comparison, is put to rest

Unless he gets his hands on some white powder.

So what your really saying is that you always been a Bandwagon/Fair-Weather Micah Fan..?

Good To Know You..

 

[zeke21]

I think he is hurt.. I think he is being used wrong.. I think it is hard to be a pass rusher on a D that has been decimated at CB.. meaning the oppo QB can release the ball quicker and to a clear target. Very hard to get home for sacks when the QB is playing quick ball.

I also think Micah is one who has not benefitted from Dak returning.. the offence plays fast tempo when Dak is playing.. which means less rest for D and that seems to have left Parsons exposed.

I'd also say that the refs have killed Parsons.. he gets mauled almost every play and no calls.. I think it crushed his soul a little

 

[Robalocc88]

Micah is a a great talent!

But please ...please...pleeeeeeaaaaeseeee. good lord dont let me hear L.T and Micah in the same breath from anyones mouth. As in the beginning of the season.
Great great talent no doubt....
LT.??? Ummm. No not close. And I mean.not.close!!!

 

[Cmac]

Typical dallas fans. Don't appreciate a good thing when you have it. The reason our defense isn't historically bad like it was a few years ago is due to parsons just being on the field. As others have mentioned, he fights through double teams and refs who seem to misplace their flags everytime he is egregiously held.

.....your post will be prophetic when Micah comes off the rookie contract.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Watch when one of his teammates gets a sack. Everyone will be celebrating but he dosent seem too happy. I could be wrong but it caught my attention this game on the sack that Sam Williams got. He just dosent look engaged at all.

That doesn’t describe passion though lol. Passion is the last thing I’d say he doesn’t have. The guy looks hurt to me. Constantly grabbing his hammy. He looks in pain.

I see him grabbing his shoulder a lot. Reminds me a lot of LeBron and Luka. His body language is bad and very different from the start of the season, but like you said it could be injury related but it can also be he is disinterested.

 

[1972COWBOY]

Unfortunately, the mine has exploded. He carried so much weight and can't go on anymore anchoring this team. He is only human and not a machine.
