Parsons is not built to be dominant pass rusher

[PAPPYDOG]

The usual meltdown has started.
Have no fear as uncle Jerry and Sons will have us Superbowl bound by May 2023.

It isn’t just adjustments. He isn’t as explosive and isn’t as able to fight through blockers as well as he was earlier this year

This. Something is wrong, either he's tired, sick, or injured. He doesn't have the speed and suddenness he had the first 8+ weeks. He certainly is a dominant pass rusher, so I disagree with the title.

 

[Cydios]

I think they should have him shift. Putting him on the line like that makes it too obvious.

 

[stilltheguru]

You’re still going down with that ship, luulz.

When he's at lb he isn't a top 10 linebacker. Thats a fact ma'am

 

[beware_d-ware]

He has 5 sacks in the past 5 games... I have no idea how that is wearing down. He is #2 in the league in pass rush win rate as well.

Parsons isn't on the same tear he was in September, because offenses have adjusted to stop him from destroying their entire game plan. He's still a top 3 pass rusher in the league.

Also tied for the lead in Pressures.

I think we need to tweak how we’re using him but Cowboys fans are the only ones in the universe that would turn on Parsons. I remember his first game this year without a sack someone posted saying he’s lost a step lol.

He is the same height and weight of Von Miller and faster. He needs more experience playing the position.

 

[Star Guard_31]

If Micah was a rookie we'd say he was hitting the wall. He's just out of schlitz.

The Cowboys seriously need to considering switching to a 3-4 in order to maximize the talent of a generational player. If they insist on remaining in a 4-3, they need to use Micah way the the Vikings used Anthony Barr in his prime or how the Chargers used Junior Seau back in the day. Let them blitz in key passing situations but otherwise don't ask them to skirmish with OTs that outweigh them by 60-80 lbs 50 plays a game.

He’s not built to play DE. He’s a LBr that’s a great pass rusher.

We’re witnessing the Cowboys ruin a young super star in the making. Hope they fix it.

It definitely wouldn't be the first time they ruined a young star.

 

[Proof]

Remember Quinn is the coach the blew a 25 point super bowl lead in the 4th quarter. He's a good coach...not a great coach. He needs to be surrounded by a good head coach and position coaches. He does not have a good head coach...

he also got his team to the sb and built a 25 pt lead against the GOAT(s). Stuff happens, he's an extremely talented coach.

Nah, that’s your uninformed and unsubstantiated opinion dunce.

 

[stinkface]

Agree. We have not seen him at full time LB. He could be all world.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

He doesn’t need to learn to be a LBr. He played it his whole life.

We’re the braintrust org that decided he needed to be a DE.

He didn’t play it his whole life. He played DE and RB in high school. However, he was a natural talent at LB and won the Butkus award.

Stiltheguru hated the Parsons pick had to eat his crow last year but now is feeling jumpy because Parsons has been wearing down as a DE.

This is spot on!!! I have mentioned this several times and we need to make a change here or we are going to destroy this kid.

Lmao your imagination is cute. I didn't like the pick as a lb and he hasn't made me eat crow as a lb

That’s fair, but he was all world at PSU.

Yeah, and you were wrong. Claiming he didn’t play well as an LB last year is bunk. Feel free to support your argument. And the “eye test” isn’t evidence.

I said he didn't play top 10 pick worthy. Him blitzing from mlb doesn't make him worthy

I completely agree. He cannot take the pounding all game- every game. He look worn out. He needs a few games off.
