Twitter: Micah Wants equality to all players, not just the QB

[Jake]

Just in case, it's when he recovers the fumble. Defender torpedos helmet first into his neck and head. about 30 seconds in. I didn't notice this yesterday. Parsons gets up slow.

It may not be right, it may not seem fair, but that's not how the world works, Micah. QBs are always going to be protected more than other positions. Deal with it.

The only way refs leave the field is when they retire or get caught betting on games. Other than that, "Game On!"

Im not one to say games are rigged and refs are betting but sometimes it crosses my mind

i understand reffing is hard but some of these calls are so bad its either incompetence or betting

 

[My3Sons]

Micah is absolutely 1000% correct!! That player should have been flagged for unnecessary roughness!! Hit him in the neck area. He could of very well injured him!!! I don't understand some of the snide comments you guys are spouting! smdh

Totally agree. He is the best young player we have had since Tyron Smith/ Zach Martin were young.

The league should want to protect the players from unnecessary injuries. With that said the NFL kept and gave a raise to the Commissioner that presided over the concussion cover up.

If the refs on the field can't catch everything, put two up in the box.

they should

if refs are going to be part time then hire 2 officials or rules experts to sit in the box every game and communicate with them

"Just play football ", I guess that phrase along with the other demeaning figures of speech, are your mantras to live by. He's more than a football player and he has proven himself on the field.

How has he proven to me or anyone that he is more than football, on the field? If I go by his social media output, then he is severely lacking. I side with my initial judgement, just play football and leave the intelligent talk to other people.

 

[droopdog7]

This was a pretty bad miss by the refs

 

[Miller]

I can't believe he don't shut up- Apu

Agree! Too much Twitter commentary! He started last year and has to extract his foot before. Love the guy but at some point people just see the talk. So this was a good point but send it through the proper channels..not Twitter

When did you first realize that others were inferior to you? How long have you been putting others in their place?

 

[Runwildboys]

Should there have been a flag? Yes. Is moaning about it on social media going to change anything? No. Maybe he should focus on the sack he missed on that play.

So he should wait until his neck gets broken before pointing out that it's dangerous?

 

[Runwildboys]

Man I would hate to play for the cowboys some of you don’t even like when a player has a human personality

Their favorite song is "Mamas Don't Let Your Cowboys Grow Up To Be Babies".

 

[Captain-Crash]

he couldn't have played in the 60,70's or 80's.

 

[glimmerman]

I get what he is saying. That kind of stuff right there is intentionally trying to hurt someone. Some of you are saying to shut up and play. If it was you constantly getting held in front of a ref and then players going at your knees and cheap shots at your head and neck then you would say something after a while. That should have been 15 yards and get that player out of the game. We wonder why he isn’t wrecking games.

How many blatant holds did y’all see after he got that first sack. He should have had 3 at least. Teams see they can get away with it so they all do it.

 

[glimmerman]

The trench area is a different game within the game. Be a man and get after it. I love Micah but the kid didn't even get off the bus for the past three games.

He addressed that in a resent interview. He knows now how different it is. He is a LB. When we had him playing both positions he was doing better because he could go untouched as a LB coming in. Lining up as DE is harsh on the body. And watching some of these plays they are going after his knees holding the crap out of him. And it’s obvious because it’s happening while he is getting right in front of the qb. The refs are right there and should easily see it. They should be flagging some of the worst ones and teams would quit. Then you would see him getting home 3 times a game.

Also it seems since they have been trying harder to stop the run our pass rush has fell off.

No.

 

[Proximo]

Sumayall just be posting and don't even read the thread. Just throwing slugs and missing all the points. It's sad really.

Because in this case, he's 100% right. What if he was injured on this play? This is a player safety issue.

Crazy stuff.
Buncha fans on here telling him to “shut up and play”, “keep his mouth shut”, etc.
What is wrong with these people.
So miserable.

 

[Grevus]

He's right. And if he was injured on that play I'm sure a lot of people on this board would be screaming about it.

that was a late hit BTW.. roughing maybe but another no call ..add in look at the tug ie HOLD in the pocket while trying to change direction, that 3 no calls in one play LOL

 

[JoeyBoy718]

It's a good point. QBs are a protected class but then you can do whatever you want to anybody else. There was a play last Sunday (can't remember if it was the Dallas game or not), where the DE wrapped up the QB and the QB pump faked, then the DE unwrapped the QB thinking he thew the ball, and the QB took off running. If the DE wasn't afraid to touch the QB, he would've tackled him before he even had the chance to pump fake. It wasn't that the pump fake tricked the DE. It was that the DE was afraid to tackle the QB, so he wrapped him up until he thought the play was over. That's a cheap move by the QB. They're taking advantage of the fact that people are scared to tackle them. Surprised I don't see that more often.

BS!! you are alowd to tackle a qb not sling him down and land on him like rag doll but you can hold him longer can you not? letting him go was him being afraid ?? LMAO

he could have walked him backward 1ft and it would have stopped play over no more forward momentum OR a good form tackle lOL cheap play my arse dude, Parsons did the same thing in the MN game with cousins thought the ball was gone and let couins go. its just football..

pump fake always been part of the game.not cheap at all
