Parsons vs Pitts

[kskboys]

Parsons is the Generational Talent that Pitts Pimpers were crying for before the draft. There was talk of trading up to get him. Lol.

Truthfully, I was in shock at the number of posters who thought Pitts would be the difference maker. Wonder if any of them can now admit the difference maker was much more important on D?

Parsons by a mile

 

[john van brocklin]

No..


I am.glad we got Parsons....
Defense defense. Defense and OL....

Agreed.
Hoping for some serious Oline help in the draft.

 

[john van brocklin]

Of course I'd have loved Pitts. The way this offense was funneled to Schultz one can only imagine how awesome Pitts would've been.

That said Parsons is the savior of this defense and we are very fortunate things worked out how they did.

Very blessed indeed !

The question is moot, they never had a shot at Pitts. And wouldn't have at Parsons if he hadn't opted out.

 

[john van brocklin]

Well said.

Now, if we can just continue this and get some more tough dudes up front. A disruptive pocket pushing NT would make Parsons even more effective.

By tough dudes up front , I hope you are referring to some Olinemen.
We are soft up the middle..

Slow time of the year Coach, that's why I thought it would be fun to kick around...

Pitts was so called bpa so all the bpa dudes better not say they don't regret it.

Ware, we've only seen Parsons for one season.

Ware was good but nothing like Parsons. The thing that always bothered me about Ware was he never made that game changing play in crunch time for us.

Ware had over 100 career sacks. Parsons has 13 and was invisible against San Francisco. I like Parsons a LOT but tap the brakes a bit.

But, we like our guys ! LOL

Parsons was the perfect pick, period

Invisible? Lol……the dude went out with a concussion and wobbly (should have never got back in btw) and proceeded to make like 12 tackles.

I liked Ware a lot, but this dude is a different breed. He can do it all.

No doubt, Amigo. You can't explain to some people that Parsons was the only DL/LB San Francisco had to game plan against

Basics my man, basics.

Exactly.

blocking

shedding blocks and tackling.

those are the fundamentals of football that you need before all else.


Nothing else matters if you can’t block or you can’t get off blocks and tackle.

He was worn out. For around 6-7 years, Ware played the most snaps in football. You really gotta think this out before falling for the media spew.

Fair enough

Parcells was asked that in a pc and while he didn't just come out and say it, anytime Ware was out the other team rolled. They had a coach on Ware watch.

The problem with Ware and Ratliff was they were gassed by the 4Q as they were both high motor guys. Johnson had the luxury of resting his DL and OL for the 4Q so that they'd be fresh.

The other thing is that the NFL was far more balanced run to pass when Ware played so fighting off OL in the run game takes a lot out of DL, which is why they try and keep them off the LB's.
