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.
well NO not yet ready to say that.. he came off not playing at all in 20, to being "the guy" in a17 game seasons as rookie and played heavy snaps and slowly moved from LB and pt de to 70% DE and he got dinged up, wore down, and has been sick.
still Parsons is the first player in decades in the NFL to stat their first 2 seasons in the with double digit sacks. add in TFL and Tackles , pressures etc still very impressive.
Id chaulk it up to what most are saying and what i said above.
he simply doesn't have an off switch and played 150% every snaps and its catching up to him. yet, IF this is a slumping Parsons, ill take 10 more please
maybe Woods was correct hard to go 100% every snap and im sure parsons will find a happy medium.
playing in the redline rpm 60 snaps game with no 20202 season right to what amounts to nearly 2 college season in one as rookie and now here we are at week 15 of his second season..
the coaches need to find way to help protect him from him from himself.
I got lot of flack for calling MP out for forcing his way back into the MN game after it was all but over, MN pulled starters, MP was dinged twice in that game and IMHO selfishly came into go get a sack or too..
he should have sat the rest of that game, never came back in and that not the only one where the game was fully in hand and hes back in trying to get stats.
thats a learning lesson for him, when you have a shot to rest, rest! coaches are more at fault for not hiding his cleats and helmet in those games.
