Damn the dude could barely even give him a high 5 on the way to Matt Ryan. Although RG94 still has the Terry Tate office linebacker hit of the year lol

Micah once again shows me he’s the next Lawrence Taylor. Yea I said it lol

What would you do to get my this guy if you had the ball in your hands Parsons?

Yeah that was a running back juke.

76 never stood a chance.

Lol…. Baldinger probably passed out drooling after that play. His breakdown of this play will be 10 mins of stop/rewind/telestrator gushing for sure lol

Parsons is a rare combo of elite athleticism and elite instinct. He just intuitively understands how to beat blocks, find the ball, and make a play.

He is on an absolute tear right now. He and Diggs have made this D a joy to watch again.

It makes sense. His RB skills show up in how he's able to make sudden explosive moves without really losing any speed. It's very rare for someone his size.

I've been quietly thinking the same thing.

Just imagine what a monster he's going to be once he actually learns the position more. Sure glad those top 2 corners were gone before we were on the clock.

Wait until a yr with the strength coach, could be even more of a monster next season!

That looked like a very crisp route like Amari Cooper would run!

How often do you see defenders breaking ankles haha

As long as it doesn’t affect his speed, I’m down for that!

How would you like to be him watching the film session today?

Right, that's when you sit there and just hope the film session ends quickly

I literally yelled "Micah just broke that dudes ankle like Michael Jordan in his prime" in real time during the game lol. Dude probably had to get new tape job after that drive.....

Notice the running back not even turning in Parson's direction? This is why Zeke is so valuable.. How often do you see Dak destroyed like that with Zeke in the game? Maybe 2-3 times a year max.

I'm too young to have watched Taylor. Was he also good as an off-the ball LB?

Uh, with all due respect to Micah Parson, Parson isn't even in LT's league.
That's how good LT was.

The thing about LT is that for most of his career linemen were not that much bigger than he was. He went about 245 and a lot of tackles were 255-265 and not as athletic as he. Parsons is about the same size as Taylor but he won't face a tackle under 300 in his career. But these behemoths are generally not nearly as athletic as Parsons.. If he gets them in space it should be a win every time. But elite tackles like Tyron, Sewell, Trent Williams, when healthy, and guys of that ilk are much bigger AND just as athletic .. or at least close enough not to get embarrassed like that.
