Parnell came in to start the second half. That usually means that the defenders were 2nd and 3rd string guys. He did have several plays against 2013 #3 overall pick Dion Jordon. I also saw several veterans and some previous higher round picks on the field.
I had posted a review of him against the Ravens and he had a good game despite not moving around as well as he has in the past. His knee was clearly better this game because he was moving around really well.
Parnell was often dominant, especially on running plays. Ryan Williams was racking up yards running behind Parnell. His pass protection was solid.
I just enjoy the way that he can physically push defenders around. He's not polished and will never be polished as long as he just a backup player. You can't really get polished as an OLineman without playing some number of real games. He had never played OL at any level prior to coming to the Cowboys because he was a college basketball player. In contrast Zack Martin played in 52 college games.
