Micah Parsons and C.J. Stroud Sumo Training

[ATXSRT]

This is the most boring part of the off-season up until training camp starts.

Nice pretty stats against the worst....give em the bag and the FO will rue the day.

I know another guy here with pretty stats.....when it's not on the biggest stage

Every player in NFL history has had the same opportunity, more or less depending on which decade they played in. Great players tend to destroy bad teams, and are the area of focus against good teams. He's had trouble against well coached teams, because they figure out ways to negate his strengths and focus on his weaknesses, and other players aren't able to compensate. That comes down to coaching and scheme.

He's still a young guy. He's still developing physically and has yet enter his prime, physically or mentally. He has new guidance under Zimmer, who should do well to clean up some of the sloppiness that we've seen. He's still rough around the edges, and surely has pissed me off a few times, but he's an excellent football player...a hungry, ambitious one at that. The defense was immediately better the day he walked through the doors, and continues to improve. He's only 24 and is arguably the most disruptive defender in the league. The kid has the drive to attain greatness. It's just a matter of getting it out of him. I think Zimmer can find it. Let's see what happens this season before writing him off as just another guy.

The Micah hate on this forum is completely insane. With the way these fans talk about him, you’d think Micah was a complete JAG bust instead of one of the best pass rushers in the NFL.

The Zone is home to a lot of toxic individuals who delight in misery. There are some who wouldn’t be happy even if the team won the Super Bowl

 

[Hardline]

There is nothing wrong with him being friends with player on another team. you meet someone and like them, you hang out with them.
It is stupid to hate someone because they are on another team.

You weren't around in the 70s seeing the sheer hatred the teams in the NFC East had for each other.
Player jersey swaps after the game wouldn't even be thought about.

Eagles LT played rugby and taught his teammates a certain rugby technique which made the team successful with the tush push.....so who knows.....maybe it'll have a positive effect on Micahs play....

Welcome to the off season.



Side note - I think that sumo wrestler was holding.

Apropos and hilarious

I , like most fans here, saw the talent that he clearly has. We than saw his last part of the 1st season letdown....then we saw it again the next season as well and now when we look closer, he's getting dominated against good offense, as you've stated.

So even if one does want to break the bank with him based on the hope that he will be coached up, some people have made the case that his deficiencies are because of the lack of support from the DTs and other LBs.....and that should be considered in all fairness.....so the question also is do you pay him a kings ransom when there are so many deficiencies around him that the FO can't help him anyway?

The draft hasn't produced a legit dog at DT for a decade and FA hasn't yielded one either so their argument against signing him has merit as well.

If history has shown us anything it's that he will be the highest paid LB/ DE in the league and he will vanish into Cowboys obscurity until he gets to another team to win a Championship

It's potentially the Demarcus Ware story all over again.......maybe the FO won't repeat that.

And people who don’t understand that some of the fiercest competition you can have takes place between people who respect or even like one another.

You don’t have to hate the other guy to want to beat him.

“I’m about to hit legs every day”

Lol

If they were so good they'd win 2 Super Bowls at the same time.

 

[Cowfan75Lives]

I really can't stand Parsons, and him being on everyone's nut sack is not a good look. He should be buddy-buddy with the QB that completely destroyed his defense and interview him. Yeah, that's a good idea.

Yeah, but the Cowboys circus atmosphere is all he's ever known. Any publicity is good publicity for the owner. Guess it trickles down.

 

[JoeKing]

They'd laugh at that.....their coach doesn't go for part-time players that mostly Stat against crap teams or in garbage time

You shouldn't talk about Parsons like that.

 

[shabazz]

You shouldn't talk about Parsons like that.

I wish I wasn't. Jerry's got a good view of his inconsistent performance BEFORE the bag.....what's it gonna be after that?

 

[coult44]

There are so many dumb closed minds in CZ nowadays!!!

 

[Praxit]

Don't know much about sumo but it appears to be coming out a stance and two steps into with as much force as possible into someone you are trying drive out of the circle to win.

I can see how it could translate.

..only problem with that. NFL OL dudes, are avg 350lb and around 6'4.

Sumo's look half the size.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

For CJ..

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

CJ looks like he needs a little more work on his upper body! LOL

[GimmeTheBall!]

Any moment now I will awaken from this bad dream.

 

[Brooksey]

Micah wins Rd 2

It's the classic case of overdoing the celebrity thing when he's accomplished very little to nothing. Immaturity and narcissism at its finest.

Born on 3rd base and thinking he's hit a triple. He goes AWOL in almost every big game. That's a fact.

Trade him and get the picks AND the cap space.

I don't know. Didn't he make 3 straight pro bowls, lead his team in sacks 3 straight seasons, and be a runner up for defensive player of the year?
What did you do in life that is so special?

The cowboys fans here are worse than Eagles fans.
