Watching the eagles game yesterday, I got to see a pass rusher I've admired for years. That is cam Jordan from the saints. To me he was a force to be blocked, and got to the qb often.

Now it's obvious that there is two different body types in him vs Micah. Micah having the speed and Jordan having the power. My thoughts are what if Micah utilized more power instead of just rushing way up field at times.


I've seen other pass rushers this year utilize power to keep pushing back offensive lineman. This seems to be best at getting to the QB. What hurts us with mobile QBs is the fact that we give them lanes to run through. I hope we fix this going forward.

Cam Jordan is 6'4" - 287 pounds and playing where he is supposed to be. The 40 pounds Parsons gives up in a comparison makes me believe he should be playing LB.

Hard to play with the power of a 280 lb guy at his size
He’s a speed rusher with good power for his size
The problem is we’ve played him way too many snaps at DE this year

I think that’s why Parsons has been playing with a cast/club so he can gain weight and play with power

I vote for him to wear a 40 lb belt around his waist during games to get more power

I emailed Jerry

Weighted turtle shells is the way to go. Then we can nickname him Super Saiyan. I think it is fitting.

Last year he played a lot but a much bigger share was at LB which is much easier
Just too many at DE with his size
If he’s gonna play DE he needs to be playing around 70% of snaps

Unless he gets a sack this week he will finish with the same total as last year with less tackles and tackles for loss. Probably less QB hits too.

I don't know if you can say he's regressed in year 2 but he definitely didn't improve.

Quinn changed the scheme after the Packers game in a desperate attempt to stop the run.

Parsons often just stays back to defend the run on 1st/2nd downs, especially against mobile QBs. They've also put a big focus on limiting QB roll-outs.

Cam Jordan is what I hope Sam Williams turns into in a few years.

Everyone will play like a pro bowler against Lane Johnson's backup. Everyone thinks that Hurts is the difference maker. He isn't. It's the Eagle's o line.

IS THAT ASKING TOO MUCH????? Slowest running back in the league

Y’all find this **** hilarious some of you would rather be 4-12 I swear. Zeke is overpaid of course but he’s been an incredible football player for us. I’m sure you think Dak is terrible to like half the ppl on here. Zero appreciation/respect for these young men it’s sick.
