This is what former Giants LB, Antonio Pierce used to say playing the Cowboys. They have all these players in the pro bowl, but we play better as a team. At the time they lost two long-time impact starters in Tiki Barber, Jeremey Shockey. It forced them to not rely just on them, but play better as a team.

This is what the Cowboy Defense needs to do post Parsons, he is no longer there to bail them out and make an impact play. The defense has to come together and play well as a unit. Handle their own responsibilities and do not play hero football.
 
Hell, just rewatch the Packs' D from last night......we saw high-level team play from all positions. Sure the they were tracking every Parsons play, but the entire team played their butt off and it showed.

But yeah .......it has to be about total team effort, collectively.

I saw. Even Parsons was playing like a member of a team. I did not see him freelancing as he was accused of doing in Dallas. I saw several plays where he stayed home to set the edge is necessary.

Yeah everyone is giving credit to Parsons but he has not been the best player on that defense. They have a few great and good players. Gary is legit. Yes his job is easier because of Micah but he’s a beast too.

Yeah playing with Gary, Cooper, Wyatt, Walker, McKenny, Hobbs, etc. makes you way more effective.

I am not sold on their offense but defensively they can get to the Bowl. Love and the offensive line still has questions. How did the Cowboys miss on Kraft. I remember the draft show talking about his talent.

But people either forget or don't realize how good their HC is.........he is right there with Shanahan and Reid as the best offensive minds and playcallers in the league. In other words, their offense will be fine......
Our game against them will be epic.........

That’s what it seems like. People don’t know now but they weren’t they bad last year. Without Micah they were gonna be good. With Micah this may be their Charles Haley…

Parsons is the perfect player for them right now, their window is open, not for Dallas though, specially at that price.

:hammer:He put our coaches and team in clown suits in the called worst playoff lose in Cowboys history. McCarthy should have been fired immediately.
 
We will have good feel for the Packers after they face the Cowboys. No doubt impressive first two wins, but it's a long season. Eagles last yr were terrible in the 1st month and won the SB.

To justify that trade, they have to at least get to the Super Bowl.

And even then, does the front office truly believe that he WAS the difference.

Not saying he won't make a difference for them but at the end of the day they might feel he was a contributor but they would have gotten there without him.

Green Bay lost to the Eagles twice last year. So did the Cowboys. Packers made a move to get better than the Eagles. The Super Bowl champions. It’s a worthy goal. And it’s looking good, so far.

Agreed, my only point is the front office view of this trade will be decided over the entire contract and with the dollar & personnel implications. Average fans viewpoint will be much simpler.

True....... let's run this back after T'givings.
Parsons takes a serious beating about 50% of his pass rush plays. I mean double and/or triple-teamed. It's going to be interesting to see how well his body holds up through 17 games.......
