I’m hopping off the Micah train

[Doomsday]

He should not be used as a full-time DE in my opinion it is a waste of his talent.

 

[atlantacowboy]

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.

Its too early to talk about a second contract. He has seemingly disappeared but that is probably due to injury and his changing role in the defense as a result of injuries to others. Quinn stopped moving him around and put him as the FT edge rusher for a few weeks. He's not big enough to take on left tackles all game. So, some of his lack of production is Quinn mis-usng him.

That said, he has a lot of growing up to do and needs to get off social media.

Only here do you get great takes like this.

 

[Manster_Mash]

He's lost a step for whatever reason. I've seen him multiple weeks now get outraced to the edge by QBs. His game is based purely on speed. And it drops off significantly if he loses something off his fastball. Win % means nothing if you don't make the play. As evidenced by the ineffectiveness of this defense as of late.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

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.

Yeah and both of those guys alway have little nagging injuries and take a lot of abuse.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

This board thinks D Law sucks because he doesn't get 20 sacks a season.

Man interceptions and sacks mean everything to these guys lol.

 

[Runwildboys]

Well that didn't take long.

 

[BoysForLife]

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

It's as if he was born to play for the Cowboys

 

[unionjack8]

This should fuel the fire lol

The fact that 21 people liked this post is great lol. Shows how stupid people on this website are. Thank you for the dumb dumb poll.

lol. Oh yeah...this is why I come to this site to read a post like this. I could totally write me a blues tune with these lyrics...make that guitar sing.

Breaking news: The entire defense has disappeared for 6 weeks.

 

[Coogiguy03]

I wouldn't be shocked if he has some kind of underlying physical issue that affects his conditioning or stamina. Something just isn't adding up.

Yeah it's called developing more moves!!

 

[Coogiguy03]

hes human

hes exhausted and most players do commercials and podcast all week

you cant keep him on a leash in the basement and feed him alpo until sunday comes and let him loose for 3 hours

2nd year player you can't be kidding me, how do you think running backs and WRs feel who are constantly also being hit

BREAKING NEWS: you're right

 

[CATCH17]

Micah got too beat up this year being almost an exclusive edge rusher. They need to go back to how they used him in 2021, mixing in plenty of off ball snaps to preserve his body.

He's 245 pounds getting smashed by 330 pound left tackles every defensive snap.

Problem is he’s average at linebacker. Nothing special.

 

[Mark]

Tough crowd.

While I'd prefer to see a bit more media restraint from this young & relatively-unsophisticated man, it's inarguable that he is the heart & soul of the defensive squad...and its best player, by a long shot.

Lawrence Taylor played at around 240, Derrick Thomas and Von Miller both played around 250. I don't think it's that. I hope and pray I'm wrong because I love Micah, but he could be another Dez Bryant where mentally he takes himself out of the game because he plays with too much emotion. I don't think he's been the same since Philthy (Vic Fangio) showed all the defensive coordinators how to play him back on October 16th. We need him so I hope we're all (the ones who are now doubting him) wrong.

 

[SackMaster]

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.
