Podcast Parsons has a huge problem

[CoachD]

And unfortunately, that problem is that Parsons is soft!!! This guy is not aggressive and or physical whatsoever when it comes to playing the run, as a matter of fact Parsons will avoid contact at all costs. If you don't believe me just go watch the tape against the Packers on youtube where someone breaks down the film of Parsons playing the run and I'm here to tell ya guys it's flat out embarrassing! Now I know a lot of you are gonna come out and defend this guy (most likely those who don't know or who have never played football) saying that it's a "business decision" well I've got news for ya he'll never be the guy or leader you're looking for on the Cowboys defense especially with that approach to stopping the run.

Whining about players having podcasts is the softest thing ever. Who cares? It means nothing.

Hankins has a YouTube show. Zack Martin goes on OL Masterminds all the time.

Quit crying.

A 240 pound guy going up against 330 pound men all season long....and dominating them......sometimes 2 or 3 at a time? Yeah that doesn't really sound like someone "soft".

Soft?.....whoa on that one. Agree....Podcast Micah needs to shut down. If he just seize the gum flapping, it would be better. But the rookie contract is ending, and I have expected the Board Fall-out to be coming. That ain't a surprise.

I don't think Micah is soft at all, but he needs to come up bigger in big games.

hey your name sounds familiar is that you old buddy?? Anyways, can you PLEASE get the video so we can see!!??? I've been a big advocate all season and last year of micah RUNNING up the field on every play as if every play is a pass play. He takes himself out of plays, and now making business decisions, didn't we just say this about Diggs last season???

And grow up. Too much gum flapping on social media.

I don't fully agree with this, i'm sorry! I wouldn't say soft, i'd say he needs to be disciplined in what he does

Parson really has little experience playing the run from a DE position. He is not afraid of contact, he just does not have the technical ability to shed those blocks at the line. He needs to get back to the LB position and rush from there.

It's not the word "soft" that is important, it's just a word. It's his execution against the run that's important.
He plays like a maniac jacked up on crack. Sometimes he hits pay dirt. Frequently he runs himself out of plays without even being blocked, before his brain catches up to what's happening on the field.

Great plays can lead to wins but mistakes kill.
Ask John Madden.

He led the team with 18 TFLs, good for sixth in the league

He was the highest graded run defender in college at LB in his draft year.

We have him rushing the passer from the DE spot.

14 tackles, 3 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, 2 forced fumbles-That was his stat line in the Cotton bowl in 2019. From the LB spot.

This team has a tendency of playing people out of position and realizing it too late. Look at Byron Jones. Or Connor Williams.

well isn't that why he was doing all the boxing and stuff in the off season?????

If there was a huge difference in Parsons' play Pre-Podcast vs Post-Podcast, I might agree.

But since there is no noticeable difference in his play, he is perfectly free to do what he wants in his free time, just like anyone else should be.

If I want to go to the club every night and party until the weee hours in the morning, as long as I produce at work, my boss shouldn't care less.

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!! Every play, right up the field, he has to break down, see and react!!

Is this what you people do? Pick the highest profile players on the team and focus all your rage on them for stupid stuff?

He deserves criticism but to call him soft is extreme.
