Yeah lol I just found myself in rant mode. Happens.
Exactly.....we are talking about the best defensive player this team has had since DWare and fans are already running him out of town before he completes his rookie deal.
Running way up the field getting washed out on run plays thinking it's a pass play
You may be spon on with that assessment, but it's a different league than it was in the 80s & 90s too. I still think Parsons is a net positive player despite his flaws....and net positive by a good margin. With that said though in the modern version of the game where DTs are smaller/quicker to get to the QB and LBs are being replaced with DBs you really need your edge players to be able to both maintain contain on outside runs and crash inside to close off the B gap.
This is where I really hope Micah takes a step forward playing in Zimmers defense.
This may surprise you but they are better than TJ Watts.......
Cut him!
Are related to the Jone's? Let him walk for a 3rd comp pick.
Exactly, his job under Quinn was to rush the QB, full bore. Hard to stop the run when you have blinders on for the QB. I also hope Zimmer can make him a more well rounded player.
Agreed sir
Which is funny considering he had above 90 run stop percentage before he came to Dallas and is used primarily as a pass rusher
Absolutely and that goes for the entire defensive front too. Outside of Lawrence I didn't see many guys up front making their reads very often. In theory better play against the run should lead to more sacks for Micah. I can't stress how different rushing the passer is on 3rd and 8 vs 3rd and 2 which the Cowboys were in a massive amount of those 3rd and shorts last year.
I wonder how many other DE's in the league are allowed to be a 100% Pass Rusher by the Defensive Coordinator.
