The first step in getting where you want to go is understanding where you are.

Micah wants a giant bag of money and he understands that sucking up to Jerry and throwing the coaches under the bus is the way to go.

If his goals were to win championships he would need to be answering those questions in a different way.

Actually, the talent, the people around him. Period. Yes they’re good. It’s the coaching and the scheme that isn’t. I think that’s what he’s trying to say.
Exactly......as a team and the way we are playing, NO were are NOT good. In fact, I posted in another thread, that we could be the worst team in the league. But again I'm pretty sure he's saying we are a better team than the record shows........lots of issues impacting this season

He's trying to get paid. He knows this team stinks, including himself, but he needs to blow smoke up Jerry's butt with this positivity garbage in hopes that it will help Jerry open up the checkbook.
Ehhh...You and I normally agree but I have to disagree on this one. Micah is getting a massive bag whether it's here or elsewhere and the whole league knows it, especially him. He may be trying to say the right things here but I don't think he's worried about selling himself to Jerry. He might hate Jerry as much as we do.

Defense has been making baby steps. If Bland and DLAW were back we would probably have a serviceable D - middle of the pack at least.
Yeah, they'd be middle of the pack.....if you took out the fact that they haven't been able to stop the run the entire season, lol..

The interior defensive line is literally the worst in the NFL.....I wish they were actually mediocre

Good that’s what he supposed to do. I like him.
Really, I thought he was supposed to piss off opposing teams with his play, not his team's fans with his mouth when he isn't doing so.

But I guess this is success for the new generation of some Cowboy fans.

Edit: For the record, it is really a stretch to say he was talking about coaching given the full quote.

“I’m going to put this out there, we’re a damn good football team,” Parsons said on his “The Edge” podcast. “I know the scores ain’t showing it, and people feel like we’re missing so many key pieces, but I almost believe you need to really go through the things that we’re really messing up on.”

“I think our defense has really things around. Up until that last quarter when they got that touchdown on defense, we only really gave up those two touchdowns in that first quarter. Other than that, we gave up those six points in those other two quarters.”

The defense only gave up 20 points in 3 quarters is really turning things around? The defense gave up 27 points on the night (taking out the Texan's defensive score), which would be good enough for 29th best in the NFL this year, and he said that after a game where he had an entire single tackle (yes that was his box score for the night). Turning it around all right. That's like Dak saying he played great in the 4th quarter after crapping the bed for nearly 45 minutes.


I still like Micah, but man sometimes he just needs to stop talking, especially when not asked.

You all can tell yourself you suck all you want, you won't find many athletes that work their butts off, spend about 60 hours a week, practicing, lifting, studying, breaking down film and giving their heart and soul to their team, say that very often. I'd be critical if he said we sucked, saying we're a good team, is a positive. Jeez......sorry for the rant, I just hate fans that throw in the towel, say they want us to lose and then keep crying when we do!! Pathetic!!

I think you are mixing up people.

The people that want us to tank are not crying because we are losing.

The people crying about losing are miffed Micah's blowing so much smoke.

Even some of the people wanting us to tank are a little confused by it.

I hate losing....when we don't try hard, lotta screw ups, give up, that kind of thing. Now if we play like warriors right up to the end...fine. the "do your best" thing....I'm not sure we as an organization are doing that.

But I get some want to lose to hopefully force a change in our habitual situation.

I ignore the sanctimonious garbage from those that are Jethro minions

The only way there will be serious change is if Jethro is humiliated enough to do it

and that means losing as many games as possible

those whining about this need to look in the mirror and think about all the water they carried for Big and Little Enos over the years
