Great video, scathing criticism. This is exactly what he needs to hear.

-Micah wants to be great for Micah first, if the team benefits OK but the priority is Micah
-Needs to get into the Ed Reed, Ray Lewis, school of film watching. Says one of the reasons he likes playing DE is there is less thinking required. Cited Fred Warner as a guy that doesnt have the same physical/athletic profile as Micah but is on another stratosphere when it comes to film prep.
-Thinks he will always finish 2nd or 3rd in DPOY because he doesnt want to play the run game like a Garrett/Bosa or impact the pass game like a TJ Watt

I don't know whether all this is accurate, but if Parsons is not spending time finding new techniques and watching film he won't last forever. His first 3 years have been based on his insane athletic ability - speed and power. At his position and body type, though, that speed is going to diminish first. Not insanely, but a half tick is enough that it will affect him. The greats lasted and stayed great because it wasn't just their athleticism - it was elite athleticism paired with acumen.

Who the hell is Jesses Holley? I guess he trying to become a Cowboy self-appointed authority but at the end of the day, he's just another fan. As stated many times, there is no way in hell we are 12-5 w/o Parsons. He was voted 2nd team ALL-Pro, led the league in 3-4 defensive stats, top 5 DPOY, and consistently faced double-team. He has said his goal is greatness that makes his teammates better. He's one of the hardest-working players during the offseason.
Yet some fans are willing to overlook his impact/value and run him out of town cost they don't like his personality. Be honest, the one neg you keep hearing from fans......his mouth and social media, that's it. But we are ready to run him out of town coz he doesn't act like us or how we think he should act.

I think Jimmy mentioned his expectations of his players were simply, to show up on Sunday/game day and keep their noses clean off the field ( stay out of trouble) None of the other stuff matters.........can you imagine, the way some fans wanna control the personal lives to players, over half of the players from the 90s would have been cut.
