Micah Parsons is the most skilled pass rusher in football and offenses fear him, I have zero doubts about that. He is also a liability in the run game who teams target. Micah Parsons is literally everything good and everything bad about the Cowboys summed up in one person.
I think his rush skills are a notch above elite, but he can be taken out of games by a talented OC.
I’m not really defending the guy, but his best asset by far is rushing the passer, and that would seem to not have much of a chance to matter a whole lot when down 27-0, and you know the run up the gut is coming but still can’t stop it.
They are soft in the middle, have been the entire time McCarthy has been here at least, and proceed to do nothing about it. Folks can be optimistic all they like about the upcoming season, but I don’t see how the case can be made that they are going to not be run all over. That situation ends up marginalizing what our ball hawking corners can do.
They probably figured they have addressed it by spending a first round pick on Mazi…as if them blowing a draft pick (like all teams do at times) is unfathomable. Maybe the 7th rounder will become a stud. I really don’t know. I’m still waiting for all those cuts other teams were going to make like Stephen and some around here mentioned. Guess what: that’s not coming.
Most teams fix glaring weaknesses that embarrasses them on national tv and gets them bounced at home by a seven seed. Nope, not Dallas. Have to save cap money for the stars, as we wait around while that number increases daily.
They don’t know what they are doing. They just don’t. Either get the team into shape to contend, or tear it down. They are doing neither and it makes no sense.
