Again. Micah Parson is NOT a linebacker nor is he a run stopping defensive end. He's no Ken Norton as far as a run stopper. He really isn't even a LVE in coverage. He's just a glorified "sometimes" great pass rusher. You want to ruin your "cap" for this. Join Jerry on the couch..

The problem I saw with Micah is over-attacking. He most often over runs the run play. Sometimes he under runs it and gets lost in the scuffle. A lot of times I see him just chasing the play. Instead of being on the ball.

It's like we, or he...has him out of position most of the time. He spends so much time and energy trying to get back to position the play is over and he's gassed.

If teams neutralize our pass rush Quinn hasn’t shown the ability to handle it.

go back last year against the jags… this year vs the 49ers and Seahawks… and last night. One sack in those 4 games. 1.

Those teams either ran the ball effectively… and when they did have to pass they got the ball out quickly.

Quinn strikes me a stubborn guy sometimes unwilling to adjust and relying to much on parsons to make plays

It's not physical, it is misdirection and numbers advantages. You guys live in 1985.

Get active with what? Name the players he should have acquired lmao.

You people are delusional about the reality of the NFL.
Obviously you didn't watch the game.... Your bad..... Buffalo went straight ahead against us on both sides of the ball. We were bullied-bloodied and destroy. Man to man......Stop trying to act like they out schemed us. It was an alley street fight and they dragged us up and down that alley... Same way the Niners did. Same way Arizona did...

You have to be really dumb to think Micah is part of the problem.

Teams either scheme away from him or double him every single play. He is a singular talent in the NFL, you just don't know what you're watching.
In the run game Micah Parsons is a major part of the problem and has been for a long time. Elite and I mean elite level pass rusher, but he's not getting double teamed in the run game and Buffalo ran right at him. Philly has done the same in the past. I've been a huge fan of Micah as a full time DE, but I'm becoming more convinced that he just doesnt have the size to hold up in the run game at the LOS on a consistent basis.

No they didn't, it was all counter traps that create misdirection and Dallas doesn't maintain gap integrity.

You are 1000% wrong and fantasizing about a game that hasn't been played in decades. These offenses are literally schemed to not have to win physical battles by winning with numbers and misdirection. None of them just line up and do this backalley nonsense you're talking about.

Dan Quinn had one great defense and everybody still thinks he's great from that. He's no different then Landry being to stubborn to drop the flex. Your scheme has been figured out by good coaches, Dan. So, either adjust or retire....

Nope. He jumps out of his gap from time to time to try to make a play, but he lives in the backfield or takes up two blocks.

The problem is that there isn't a single linebacker on this team who knows how to play off of that.

Micah doesn't attack the holes as a linebacker. And he doesn't seal the outside like a DE.... Besides a pass rusher? He's a real liability.

Go re- watch the game-then get back to me.... Counters..... :facepalm: :muttley: They ran right at Mazi. Then ran at our D-ends. Simple.....You can't change the facts no matter how hard you try. He ran through our defense like they weren't even there... :hammer:Per your information even the players said the same. The just kicked our azzzz. No scheme needed.

Nope, you are wrong. Counter trap, over and over again. It is misdirection.

I don’t think we are using him correctly. I think his best skill is playing in space. Yes he can rush the passer but in the current scheme it is awfully easy to neutralize him. Put him back at LB and line him up to rush the passer in unique situations. Let him rome and tackle the Allen’s, Hurts’, Mcaffrey’s, and Deebo’s earlier than we can otherwise... Plus it will probably extend his career by 5 years.
this is the way...

The problem is that there isn't a single linebacker on this team who knows how to play off of that.
Disagree 100%. Starting with the opening play last night Parsons didn't live in the backfield nor take up two blocks in the run game at all. There are so many plays Buffalo let him go unblocked I would be embarrassed to watch the game film if I were him. He was easily shielded off by one player, got blown up a couple times on trap blocks, and simply took himself out of many plays.

Not taking the heat off the rest of the team either, I agree with you that the linebacker play was extremely suspect all day, and for DQ this was basically his 'Chaz Green' game where it almost felt like football 101 left him and he had no idea what to do.

Sorry I am new to football and don't understand what you mean by specialist? He lines up at every position on the field, so he becomes a specialist? Just want to make sure I understand your post
Pass rusher

I don't think you understand what misdirection offenses do to edge players.

On the plays he's unblocked., he's likely accountable for backside gaps or Josh Allen on a keeper. When he's "shielded," he's setting a gap.

Yes, he overruns sometimes, but you live with that.

Great post. Micah is too much of a specialist to be paid $25-30 million per. Its a very unpopular opinion but, I'd trade him for a Herschel Walker haul. If Dallas is content being "good" then keep Quinn. But if we are going to win a SB we have to be honest that Quinn's scheme is vulnerable to running games. Its why we been losing in the same playoff game/round for years.
The Eagles would be all over that trade and he is a Philly fan. Dallas just couldn't risk that.

Going airborne into the punter in critical moment as Dallas was fixing to get the ball back.This isn't the first time this guy has made a bone-headed play. Another one of Jerry's 2nd round picks that is a bust. Clark is another wasted pick.
That was Sam Williams

this and why does everyone think he cant rush the passer unless he is at a DE slot...News flash he might be even more effective if the offense has no idea where he is comming from every play...
