Parson is now a full time D-End/Edge rusher

[CoachD]

And thank God for that because he is ten times better at that position than he is at LB. I said last year that once Gregory comes back Parsons rush attempts would be a lot less and I was right about that but now that he's gone and with Lawrence's sack numbers being way down Parsons lines up on the LOS almost every play that he's in there unless they use him in a stunt from time to time but he's still coming. Plus with so much attention put on Parsons it really frees up the other guys to go one on one with the o-lineman which will result in bigger numbers on the stat sheet. Quinn will continue to use this approach as long as he's D-coordinator and will put a ton of pressure on any team's game plans when it comes to stopping Parsons.

He’s too good of a pass rusher to waste his talents in coverage. And he’s not bad there either

 

[AbeBeta]

You'll see him playing more LB when there is a running back to worry about.

Anthony Barr was brought in to free up Parsons, who's too much of a weapon to be locked in at LB.

 

[texbumthelife]

He’s played off ball snaps in both games so far this season.

No he isn't. ....lol

Parsons snaps at off-ball LB:

• Last year: 56%
• Week #1: 35%
• Week #2: 5%

Micah is an All Pro DE and an All Pro LB. It's just that if you can get to the QB there isn't anything else you can do as impactful. It's your new full time job if your coaching staff has the slightest clue of what they're doing.

Anthony Barr has some nasty to him. I like the pickup so far.

 

[TwoDeep3]

With the speed of Parsons, and his desire, I don't believe there is any position on the defense where he would not be an upgrade outside of defensive tackle.

Imagine a slot receiver doing a drag route, looking back for the ball, knowing Parsons is playing safety, and is out there like Jaws.

I love it. Until another great pass rusher emerges, at least.

He'll be easier to game plan against......I'd rather see him playing multiple positions...makes it tougher on opponents....my opinion

This. All pro DE > All pro LB all day every day.

I hope they don't burn him out! He's not your typical edge rusher, I know he's got the height, but he doesn't have that edge rusher body frame to hold up a whole dam year! The other edge rushers on the team, and I mean you D - Lawence need to step up your dam game to take some pressure off the young stud!

Thank you sir for proving my point much appreciated Coach D.

 

[Rayman70]

he isn't full time. He's a swiss army knife. He is used wherever he's most effective that game. Dude is that special.

 

[thunderpimp91]

I’d expect him to be more of a pure rusher than he was a season ago, but also still expect his role to change game to game, as we have already seen through the first two weeks.

 

[Praxit]

..he's everything..lol. Quinns X Chess piece.

 

[thunderpimp91]

Thank you sir for proving my point much appreciated Coach D.

I don’t mean to be condescending in any way, just want to clarify what your point is. How does him having lined up more than 1/3rd of his snaps at LB week 1 prove your point?

 

[G2]

Nope
