Parsons a better rusher than tank or randy

[Starforever]

Was it me or was he getting held all day?

Cmon, not all day. Most of the day maybe, but not all day. Our defense should feel loved because they were held quite a bit.

 

[unionjack8]

Our inability to draft and develop mid to late round DL (and safety) is, IMO, the #1 reason our defense has been awful for so long.

Long gone are the days of Jimmie Jones, Lett, Ratliff, Canty, Tolbert, Hennings, etc.

Those names make me so sad because they were all DRAFTED and developed

 

[conner01]

We are a pass rush away from being a really good team

That would sure help
But getting everyone healthy will help
I don’t think Gallimore is the second coming as some do but he will make some plays

 

[ZekeTrain]

They need to take a page from the 80s giants and use him like LT.

 

[conner01]

Herbert had time to take a nap many times today
Overall the pass rush wasn’t that impressive

 

[CWR]

Seriously this kid looks like an LT type of player. The type of guy that elevates an entire defense.

I'm not anointing him yet, but what he did today is unreal.

 

[AbeBeta]

I mean, great for parsons but that’s a shame.

Btw, parsons looking like the late great Derrick Thomas out there.

Can we take a second to note how amazing it is that we have a player who, in his 2nd pro game, moved over to DE and got a sack and four qb hits?

That was just all instincts what we saw today.

I don’t think some of you just impressive that was.

These fast little ratty QBs can’t get away from him.

Micah impressed the hell out out of me at end. Maybe he should stay there?

Ha-Haaaaa, I have to agree the kid can get after it. The whole dam defensive line need to sit down and watch Parsons game film.

 

[Denim Chicken]

I knew this was coming.

 

[Captain-Crash]

Is Parsons a better rusher than tank or randy? yep. maybe when they come back they will be sorta embarrassed and will work their tales off to prove they are better than parsons.

 

[btcutter]

Facts. I seen more passrush ability from Parson in this game then I've seen from Randy or Lawrence. I would be very tempted to maybe make him a DE especially in passrush situations. The boy has burst.

Parson was fantastic! But let’s not open the anointing oil just yet. When Parson rush from the LE going against Chargers backup T he was great. But when he played from the RE against Slater (rookie stud tackle) he didn’t fair as well.

Yup. Through film study they'll each improve to 4.38 speed.

Parsons had 4 qb hits today. 5 on the year. Dlaw had 10 all of last year in 16 games.

DLaw is a great run defender!!

 

[chasecooley5308]

I've said it to my friends and family since DLaw signed the big contract that he was never worth the money. They paid him like he was DWare, and hes not. Never will be.

 

[nobody]

Parsons was great but got the pollard treatment. D law gets more attention just like zeke gets more attention. Once law made his se one pro bowl, he got the elite treatment. Pollard will never get the pro bowl treat ever brcsuse they do t fear him as much.

I believe in future games where Parsons is playing DE he'll be respected more by opposing teams and he'll be blocked a little more.

Let's remember that he was going up against a backup tackle, and one that I believe was considered a pretty good dropoff from the starter. It's hard to say that Lawrence wouldn't have eaten that tackle's lunch.

But very glad to see Parsons play as well as he did as a pass rusher. Not going to judge him in that role, though, for one game against a backup. The more he plays end, the more tackles will see the moves that he likes to make and adjust to take those away. The real key is will he be able to counter when they do that? And that follows will he be able to rush the passer as well against better tackles? The one Lawrence faced in Week 1 is a beast, so not sure Parsons would have fared any better and I think it's likely he would have fared worse.

Those guys don't even deserve to have their names capitalized
