Micah is going to murder Howell

 

[Hardline]

Imagine how many sacks he would have of he wasn't getting mugged on every play.

 

[Beats_By_Zeke]

This is why we should trade up for a pass rusher in the draft. Imagine how good he’d be if you had someone taking on another double team.

Held at 13, some might say.

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

Imagine how many sacks he'd have if they could cover anyone for more than 2 seconds!

 

[Mr_437]

Wonder if Micah gets holding calls in Playoff games, I doubt it but one can dream.

 

[Proof]

while you’d hope to see more, starting of with three straight seasons with 13 sacks is awesome

 

[gimmesix]

I think he'll have three Sunday.

I can already hear Mr. January growling!

Not needed.

Mazi will be commanding constant double teams next year.

He’s constantly doubled and tripled… never gets holding calls. Teams go out of their way to get the ball out quick against us. He still has 13 sacks and leads the nfl in pressure rate. He should be the dpoy… he makes everyone around him better.

For the third consecutive season Micah's performance in the first 12 games of the season compared to the last 5 is like day and night.

Perhaps Micah doesn't even realize it but he wears down through three fourths of the season and becomes rather average after Thanksgiving. The Cowboys cannot continue to put him in front of a pair of 300 pounders all game long. They need to take him off the line about half the time and use his other great physical assets at LB.

Why not blitz more often from the same side Micah is lined up on. If they want to double him good luck with picking up the blitz.

Agreed. Parcells spoke about the same thing with Ware. By playing OLB, you are not physically responsible to maintain gaps that require 1v1 with OT every play. The run plays take a toll on your body.

He is giving up a big weight advantage and that energy used up is costing him. We need MP moved out the DE position at least occasionally.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Just curious ............anyone think he would have more impact in the 3-4 scheme?

No, they let them play in the playoffs. Penalties are far in few.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Imagine how many sacks he would have if DQ was playing him at LB instead of DE most of the game. You’re not going to eat much if you have to get around the Trent Williams and Penei Sewells of the league.

The coaches also tend to leave him in during blowouts. I know he doesn’t want to leave the game but they should sit him and let him rest. The NE game he got dinged up and they left him in almost the complete game even though it was over in the 3rd. I know he also wants to pad his stats but better to have a nice long career and be fresh late in the season.

Maybe we should sit him the first 5 weeks of the season so we know he’ll be good at year end??
