I actually have a beef with Parsons

[CCBoy]

He's too much new school and too much of a 'sweet' player to take full control of the Cowboys defense.

Old School linebackers: Lawrence Taylor, Harry Carson, Willie Lanier, Mike Singletary, Ray Lewis...they are not specialized besides effectively being immediately aggressive. They were in the play before they were blocked. Parsons gets blocked a lot, and isn't nearly as dominating as old school linebacker was for their team. That was five players who met every inch of the requirement. He better commit more within himself and less into talking about it. Do it!

Neat.

Those are all LB's. Is Parsons really a LB? He might be listed as a LB but he is a DE.

 

[Jipper]

He was top 3 in dpoy, 2nd I belive right? That's not good enough for ya huh, have beef bc he doesn't fit an outmoded way of thinking?

I'll take one of the top dp in the league any way I get him all day long

 

[Outlaw Heroes]

I don't agree, friend. Dude beats the guy(s) across from him at a rate few can match. He isn't in the same class as LT or Ray Lewis yet, but he's the only guy in the league right now who has a chance to be.

 

[zrinkill]

What a silly biased thread

 

[805BoysInBlue]

So he needs to be soliciting minors and snitching on a murder case in order to be old school?

 

[jazzcat22]

All those LB's did not beat their guy every play. They got stuffed and shut down at times also.

Reggie White never had any success against Erik Williams.

Some posters need to go zero dark 30 before training camp. OP just take a break from football and enjoy your family until the end of July.

Right . The only one of those LB’s who played more of an edge rusher like Parsons was LT.

 

[shabazz]

He’s still a kid. He’s just a product of his generation with the constant asinine social media posts.

very hard to find kids that have an “old soul “……..I still look forward to him maturing and becoming the most dominant defensive player in the NFL.

todays generation is about “self” and “pride-fullness” which is exactly the opposite of humility which we should all aspire to

 

[Vtwin]

A real man would tell Parsons that to his face.

Exactly. Erik owned Reggie before the motorcycle accident.

Same could be said for the QB. He talks quite a bit about what needs to happen or what he is going to do, then never follows through with it. It's all talk with no intention of backing it up.

I don't agree, friend. Dude beats the guy(s) across from him at a rate few can match.

We're all waiting to see if that continues after he gets paid.

It's as if some people don't even watch football

Seriously??

My only beef with Parsons is his social media stuff.

what??omg
wrong if they were never blocked they would have 50 sacks and 200 tackles a year lmao..

good try im betting you missed most of the plays they were blocked because back then the coverage from the airing and then post-game and not much social media says fans missed a lot especially ones they didn't focus on like they do with their teams players. parsons plays a lot like LT we all see it..

 

[blueblood70]

true as if you can remember every single play from every one of those players and back then there was hardly any social media there were less replays the airings on TV hardly enabled you to see everything I mean we all focus on our players almost every play every game and remember all this stuff he's using some kind of ram memory to try to make his point and we all know there's no way his premise holds true because the dudes would have had 50 sacks and 200 tackles every year...

yet back in the day there werent any SM , these kids grow up with it..its the norm.. I guess he should get a cocaine habit, be an alcoholic, be legally on steroids, hang around with murderers, maybe he'd fit in with this Group A little bit better for you?
