Micah: I get the fan frustration but I don't think there's anyone more frustrated than me

[atlantacowboy]

He talks the talk. We just need more than 3 tackles a game out of him. He did nothing last week to impact the game. I understand being the best player on a bad defense, but that is no excuse for a player like him to be invisible.

I wish Micah battles on the field like he does in his mind. Wish I could send him game film of Ray Lewis. Now that was a Lion....

Send him some Dick Butkas film also.

 

[infamousstyles]

Probably one of the better answers he or most Cowboy players have given to the media in recent months. Way better than "get over it" from the Packer game

Was thinking the same thing. All the responses I've heard was to not compare the games when they clearly are similar.

 

[LonnieElam]

Yeah, I don't believe that for a second. If he is truthful, he's only frustrated with HIS stats, not the fact the team lost. MEcah Parsons.

 

[Dools29]

The first few lines PLEASE SAY THIS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! I won't stop harping on this I won't

Maybe if micah watched film he’d notice.

Cowboys DE/LB Micah Parsons: “To have back to back embarrassing losses at home, I get the fan frustration but I don’t think there’s anyone more frustrated than me. I’m a competitor. I feel like I’m a warrior. I battle like everyone else battles, but at the end of the day, it’s all about wanting it more. To me, not having everyone wanting it as bad as you do, that kinda hurts the most. If you’re willing to take a beating like that, that says a lot.”

Tougher to move on after a loss like that?

“I think I’ll find it tougher if people don’t step up. … To me, it’s like a prove it weekend. I’m not putting anything on any of my teammates. I’m saying myself included. I need to step up. We all need to step up. It would hurt me more if we all didn’t step up and we all played down to that standard again. Because that just tells me we’re not moving in the direction we should be moving.”

The 30 minute man speaks...

... and we all listen.

Cause Micah knows.

Warrior or Assasin, which is it?

He disapears innto the shadows when stakes are high.

I would say Assassin

So he is open for a trade?

 

[Vtwin]

I have not given up on him as a player by any stretch, but I think he is going to struggle dealing with the the spotlight, and the expectations of leadership that come with the superstar label. He doesn't appear built for that.

 

[Jipper]

If I was given a lot of money after the game ended regardless of outcome I'd probably feel better too!

I jest...I get that it's his job...but the point is its his job, it's the fans enjoyment or hobby, for many much easier to compartmentalize work frustration as something expected vs something they are passionate about.

For that reason I disagree with micha

 

[DogFace]

He took the Clear Eye View of the field on Sunday....almost on every play he'd overrun tackles along with Diggs

Hmmmm. I saw Diggs make a couple tackles when no one else seemed to what to.

Guess there were others I missed

 

[zrinkill]

Hey Micah, when Jerry offers you a new contract.

 

[Redsfan_83]

Hmmmm. I saw Diggs make a couple tackles when no one else seemed to what to.

His game is not tackling and I get it, but the one play in my head is the sideline pass where he hung on to the WR for dear life until he managed to sling him out of bounds.... I would love to see the fire from him or for that matter anybody on D

That's what I was trying to explain to people about diggs. diggs doesn't care about asserting dominance against an opponent. You'll never see him have a good game late in the season vs a good qb/wr combo. It's never happened and it never will.

fits right in then I'd say

 

[Ranching]

Dang, lots of frustration around here....the easiest place to coach from is the recliner and the bleachers.

 

[Proof]

Idiot contradicts himself from line to line. Are you calling out from teammates for not wanting it like you do, Parsons? If so, who? You can't put that out there and then try to have it both ways with weasel words.

for the love of god, shut up.

 

[Proof]

Honest? What about micah says he's a warrior?

are you still hung up on being wrong about him?

 

[stilltheguru]

are you still hung up on being wrong about him?

I don't care about pre-draft stuff and being wrong. Does micah play like a warrior to you? Yes or no. Don't try to make it about me

yes? lol. absolutely. i was just checking if there was some agenda because you bash the guy any chance you can. but yes, warrior for sure. one of the best defensive players in the league for sure. one of the best PLAYERS for sure.
