I’m hopping off the Micah train

[Kwyn]

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.

Lol

When he balls out, we’ll let you hop back on. I’m sure you hop on and off various bandwagons all the time.

 

[Xeven]

This should fuel the fire lol

Dak started throwing INTS after getting a Sleep Number!

Ok to say he doesn’t play with passion is a bit of a stretch. How do you determine he has no passion? Sack totals?

He sure seems passionate to me
He’s giving his all every play
I think the issue is he’s been over used at DE and he’s wore down physically
That’s why I didn’t want him to play against skins

I agree. Like if you want to say the guy is worn out ok. But passion? That guy lives and breathes football. Passion ain't the problem. Probably just warn out. Let's remember he's never played this much football as a edge rusher in college let alone in the pros.

Just some video of Micah being ineffective this past Sunday.

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

Last year he played much more LB. At his size you can’t play him 80% of the snaps at DE and expect him not to wear down. I get a DC not wanting to take his best player off the field but sometimes you are better off to have 70% of great play than 80% of worn down play

Fans talking about players passion for the game. Go put on some pads and say that to him, I'd love to see him giving you some at right.

 

[CWR]

Love the player, but it's been proven he can't hold up at DE with his current size.

We need to pick our shots and conserve his body a bit more.

I'm sure he will build a proper suit of armor in the weight room, but it's going to take time and we need to be careful not to rob him of his speed.

Yet another HOF level player that will be thrown under the bus because the gm is crap

I love Micah, and the OP is crazy, but HOF talk is what’s wrong with this fan base?

HOF LEVEL.

And you guys all laughed when I wanted to trade him for 2 #1s

Shameful!!

I agree, but a coach should rip him a new one and get him straight.

Laughing even harder now actually. You don't trade generational players

 

[Acceptablename]

I think as banged up as he is it is time to move him back off the line. He’s not capable of getting home right now, and already banged up he’s only getting more so plus not producing. If for no other reason than his psyche get him some space to make plays and get some bounce back. He’s putting effort in but going nowhere fast and DL as a whole is dropped off on pressure because of it too. He’s double and triple teamed and nobody is picking up the slack.

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

 

[IslandCowboy]

He is too focused on the talk surrounding the game. The dude is mentally weak and too small to be playing on the line every down. Unfortunately in order for him to last a season he will probably have to go back to playing a good number of snaps at LB and not rush the passer.

 

[Kellsbells]

To me, I see an impact player on pretty much every play he's on the field, even if he doesn't get a sack or a tackle.

he’s too worried about his personal sack numbers over team accomplishments.

i heard Nate Newton talk about how micah would flat out just rush full speed up the field constantly leaving his gap assignment. which then led to washington running to that side.

Hasn't looked generational since they began chipping him. How much do you pay him when he holds out this summer?
