Micah on if referees account for his speed when assessing potential offensive holding penalties

[CCBoy]

Micah is right and getting hosed by officials.

Goodell only wants to sell excitement no matter the sacrifice. Change the game and never mind how the game was created and the why's. Put cheating on the top step in games. Unless an injury, not danger, or pass reception is involved. That makes for a sorry game.

4.3, goodness gracious!!! This man is FLYIN' off the edge and sideline to sideline.

Does your mommie make your bed for you in your own room also?

Who talks like that? Are you in college at that frat house. I see you in these similar threads. Always arguing the other side. The immature clueless side. Easy to spot.

Talk into the hands, crap eyes...you have no time on the block or experience in the real world to sit in judgement.

Now here and now, project how much yardage Dak Prescott has this next game and how much Dallas will score. You the smart guy, prove more than your insulting attitude...my motives for posting are for me to know. Not for your discussion, sonnie. Side? Discussion of facts!

Try owning up on more than your game of popularity contests. Cut facts to the core base...run along now, sonnie.

Don't get the calls and allows linemen to hold him in disguise of player safety.

 

[Sarge]

His act is getting old…

What?

You mean you don't like the old "I'm so great they have to make it harder for me" mindset?

This guy and all threads you guys make about him being held. He is his own worst enemy.
I would rather have 2 team players than an all star like this clown. He needs to **** and play.

Fans usually judge players by their talent and effort, but if enough fickle fans persist in criticizing all star players for what they say instead of what they do, maybe they'll get their wish. Then they can cry over the team's lack of quality players.
I don't care what he says OFF the field, I care about what he does ON the field, and ON the field he's more than good,
he's REAL good!

“To be honest, and in the most humble way ever, I don’t think there’s another rusher like me in the league. I don’t think there is a rusher that wins as quick as I do. There’s not another rusher that does the things that I do. That’s on tape. … They put me on the same pedestal as other rushers and we’re just not all the same. … I don’t think they realize that I’m 4.3 coming off the edge versus some dudes might be 4.4, 4.5, whatever. … I think the refs understand that I’m a good player but they don’t understand the actual plays that I can make with my speed and what I can control.”

He has a point. Miami's players held him over and over, and the refs didn't do jack.

I don't get how they always seem to catch pivotal holding calls against our o-line?

As the pundits say, there is holding on every play. The rules allow for judgment by the refs on when they want to call it or swallow the whistle. What an awesome instrument to control the flow of the game and shape the outcome! Repercussions from the NFL office for bad or blown calls? Not when the boss signs off on it.

Micah is right and getting hosed by officials.

HOWEVER...Parson's DC Quinn, HC McCarthy, and his team's GM\ Owner have yet to admonish the officials' blatant oversight /neglect / directive from higher-ups that the Cowboys best player is being neutered.
Has not been a blanket public statement, nor a direct salvo directed at the commissioner to correct this obvious wrong.

 

[Playmaker3128]

Solution - play him at lb more. I thought he looked good off the ball against Miami. Then you let him rush the passer on passing downs.

He’s a playmaker…. It’s much easier for team to neutralize him when he’s on the edge. I never understood when we played a team like SF why he’s lined up on Trent Williams the majority of the time.

He’s the ultimate guy you can move around. Let him move around and make plays.

Yeah, the head coach and owner need to conduct themselves like angry fans. I'm sure that'll help.

That would get them fined and they'd look pretty foolish. It also wouldn't accomplish anything, other than make some of you feel better.

 

[Asklesko]

Micah the lion roars too much.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

He is absolutely right. He is faster and more explosive than any other pass rusher. You can see it watching him and them play.

I applaud him for looking for reasons other than they are out to get me.

This is good diplomacy. It gives the refs the room to make change without admitting wrong.

'Jake' - thank you for the leading response to my comment.
Chiefs HC Reid and QB Mahomes got dinged $100K and $50K for their opinions about the officiating after the Bills game.
CZers need to cease with the threads about the Cowboys being grossly mistreated by the league officials = a conspiracy against Dallas.
Cowboys players can ***** and moan in post-game pressers; but the team hiarchy has to walk a fine line = roll with the punches without a peep\protest.
Fans getting upset what's happening matters even less.
But if getting on a soapbox to declare the injustices done to the Cowboys team is your mission - then rant on.

 

[Cowboys5217]

Nope, they just account for the logo on his helmet. That really is all there is to it. Been going on far longer than Micah has been on the team. It's league policy.

They aren't going to change because it has nothing to do with Micah and everything to do with the team he plays for.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Maybe maybe not. I don't even think the decision is made by one person so I think your oversimplification is the opposite of helpful.

 

[visionary]

He just cant shut up

 

[Corso]

Maybe all players should be silent. Would that make our fanbase happy?
