Parsons, Parsons, Parsons

BTW....it's official IMO, Zeke walk, Tony P is tagged for 2023. No way in hell you let TP walk w/o seeing if seeing his impact as a full-time starter.

Hello, Next Gen!

FMIA has partnered with NFL Next Gen Stats for a deeper look into one story each week, using motion and speed trackers on players all over each NFL field.

Three Next Gen Stats nuggets from Dallas’ 40-3 dismantling of Minnesota that deserve attention:

• Micah Parsons had 10 pressures and two sacks on 27 pass-rushes, for an absurd pressure rate of 37 percent. (Twenty percent in pressure rate is very good.) One of the things measured by Next Gen Stats, Get-Off Rate, times how long it takes for a player to pass the line of scrimmage after the snap of the ball, and Parsons’ rate was .7 seconds, the second-highest rate for a game in his two NFL seasons.
• Tony Pollard, the rising star behind Ezekiel Elliott at running back, is second in the NFL with 232 rushing yards over expected. Which means, as it sounds, that Pollard is gaining much more ground than the average back. That would lead one to think Pollard is just a speed and finesse back. Not so. Against the Vikings, Pollard gained 55 yards after contact.
• Dak Prescott was 20 of 20 when not pressured in Minnesota, the most in the league since mid-2018.

Dallas now has a short week before its Thanksgiving game against the Giants after its most authoritative performance of the season.

BTW.......Kings gives a nice preview of what's in Jimmy's book

I consider myself pretty knowledgeable about the life and times of Jimmy Johnson, who I covered fairly extensively in his career. The mark of a good book is that it reveals things about a subject you were sure you knew well—when you had no idea about so many things in the subject’s life. That’s how I felt reading “Swagger: Super Bowls, Brass Balls and Footballs—A Memoir,” by Jimmy Johnson and Dave Hyde.

Three things that opened my eyes:

• The details of Johnson’s bad relationship with Don Shula.
• How Archie Manning asked Johnson, then the coach of the Dolphins, to try to trade up to draft his son Peyton in 1998.
• The depth of his personal regret of ignoring so much of family life in his singular focus to try to win football games, and the pain of dealing with his son Chad’s alcoholism.

We simply dominated on both sides of the ball. Let's hope this continues onto the Giants game.

Parsons and Pollard beast mode

Parsons and Pollard beast mode

In all fairness you have to include Dak beasting in this particular game as well. He effectively ran in this game, had a ridiculously high QBR, accurate arm and made good decisions. Unit wise the defensive and offensive line were beastly. Special teams is truly special. Coaches had their scheming heads screwed on right.
