Losing 5 pounds entering this season doesn’t appear to have helped him any. He was already under sized at DE. Taking on those double teams has taken their toll on him.
Doing so as often as he does certainly seems to have.

Has he been sipping on the Kool-Aid and become a primadonna....I hope not, but it seems like the fame has gone to his head.

Sometimes it seems we have a few players who go for stats. I don't know if he's one of them, but comments about breaking records could be concerning.

Early in the season he looked like the favorite for defensive player of the year. His play has really dropped off the second half of the season. He hasn’t done much the last few games. He’s had some nicks, has been sick a couple of times and opponents seem to have figured him out. It does appear he’s been reading a few too many of his press clippings. He needs to get refocused and wipe off some of that anointing oil that’s been poured all over him if he’s going to get back to being the disruptive force he has been.

Well current clippings can't be as flattering as early in the year. If anything, maybe it'll piss him off and provide extra motivation. Not that he hasn't been good, but early he was flat out dominant.

I’m sure he’s been hearing some of the negative whispers. Had his first half of the season been like his second half of the season I don’t think he would’ve made the Pro Bowl. He’s only had one sack in his last three games. He’s whiffed on a few and has missed some other plays.

You may not understand.. bury your head in the sand. I know what I see and I hope I'm wrong.
The competition he faces didn't just get better...his play has been weaker with normal season accumulating injuries.

We want swagger we want players that are expressive in their love for the game and franchise we get them and then we have issues with it

then we say "be humble and play the game" then you get Amari Cooper and say "hes not expressive, he doesnt care get him out of town"

get me the expressive guy who talks smack like Dez Bryant....Terrell Owens

I like my football players Cocky and Expressive its competition run your mouth other teams do it Vs Dallas

they stand on our star they call our pro bowlers crap they say we stink even though we consistantly win between 9-13 games every year

I think he is beat up and worn down. If they are gonna keep him as an every down edge player he’s gonna have to hit the weight room and put on some muscle. I do hope that he learns to quit chirping so much and let his play speak for itself. I’ve said it before that one of the coolest things to see was Barry Sanders ripping off a crazy TD run and afterwards just handing the ball to the ref. Shut up, stay humble and just play ball Micah!

Maybe a little? but have to remember, he's only 23 years old. Lots of growing up to do still.

Quinn needs to use him like a rookie as more of a linebacker and run a base 4-3 front to stop the run. None of these tweeners at DT and stunting to stop the run.

Just seeing him all over the media and his play dropping off.
He does talk a lot. He was supposed to be on FS1 every Monday or Tuesday I believe. I dont think he ever ended up doing it. Once his play diminishes all the stuff fans like right now will turn annoying. They'll flip on him. Dude seems like a real emotional guy.

For the first time in his very short career, he’s facing a small test of adversity because unlike last season, the expectations are way higher. Could be a good thing in his maturation process

we’ve all been tested in life so let’s see how the kid handles it.
