Parsons took snaps from 8 different position during week 1

LOL....that would drive any offensive coordinator crazy. Now add Overshown impact/speed..........

Only complaint i had with Quinn (i thought the run game was more of personnel issue)

Just refused to move him around, esp that game vs the niners where he just set him up against Trent Williams the entire game.

Just refused to move him around,

LOL ....those days are over under Zimm

LOL ....those days are over under Zimm

yup, very happy zims back

I know Quinn ran out his welcome but i enjoyed his stay here after the rob ryans, marinellis, and that god awful nolan year

But the defense just seems way more structured/varied under Zim, i gotta be honest im keeping my expectations tempered, but excited to see what they do.

This is what we like to see. But what really matters is keeping Parsons effective late in the season into the playoffs.

You are exactly right ........ Remember Zimm said we may not get as many turnovers but we won't give up as many big plays. That's a trade-off.....

 

[Silver Surfer]

Micah must think Zimmer's playbook looks like the Kama Sutra.....

 

[kskboys]

Yup. Now, it's only been one game, no doubt. However, the completeness of our D was at least partially due to the improved effectiveness of Parsons not being a hand in the dirt DE every play.

They need to figure that out.......Some fans blame Parsons for quitting or dogging it but I don't believe that. To be honest, most players, especially defensive will say they are not as effective by the end of the season from wear and tear and/or nicks and bruises. But Parsons goes against players weighing 40-60lbs more the majority of snaps, so it's bound to take a toll by the end of the season. Bottom line IMO, he needs to be one a snap count at certain positions. Yes move him around but be smart with the impact it is costing him at the end of the season.

No snaps at CB?
Get Zimmer out of here and bring back Quinn

It’s interesting listening to a few guys I saw some guys say it’s only one week and doesn’t mean anything. Same people say how different Eagles look. Zim flaws will show up eventually but one thing you can’t say is he’s had talent like this.

No Quinn slander from he saved this organization from Mike Nolan but that Packers game really left a bad taste in my mouth.

I think this is them figuring it out. Less snaps against 330 pound linemen.

69 snaps is way to many for Micah,no wonder he gets worn down in the 2nd half of the season,he is no Myles Garrett.we need to promote Lawson to the active squad and reduce Micah's snap count.

 

[Aven8]

DQ did this in Micah’s first season and then kind of just left him at End for the other two. Micah is too good to not move him all over for different matchups

Agreed especially since we had a commanding lead in the 3rd quarter and Parsons didn't play at all in the pre season.

Gotta get that snap count down.

I wonder what the total defensive snaps were for the game........in other words, what percentage did he play?

Micah played over 90% of the snaps,we dont have enough DEs to even take the load off him.Lawson has to play.

 

[DallasEast]

No defensive coordinator should muzzle a weapon like Micah Parsons. They should make opposing quarterbacks see ghosts for four quarters. "Where's Micah? OMG. There he is! Mommy."

Props to Mike Zimmer. Hopefully, the tactic will continue all season long.

 

[Coogiguy03]

The typical high energy from Micah with the NEW season, let's save this for later on in November or something

 

[Fletch]

The good thing about Zimm is that he sees how affective Parsons can be by giving him a multitude of different looks. This should keep Parson from gassing out late in the season due to throwing hands and body against LTs and RTs and Gaurds 95% of the time.
