Slimmed down Micah

[Risen Star]

I wonder how this affects his pass rush.

 

[zerofill]

I think the only 2 things that would make his season bad... is coaching or injury.
I think that guy is that good...
Dude literally is as fast as some wide receivers lol.

Geez… he’s gonna knock some QB’s out this year.

That guy is special, and I don’t just mean physically. He’s smart, has high football IQ and loves the game. That is a very rare combo before you even talk about elite athleticism.

good question. This might make him even more quick around the edge.

you do have to wonder if it affects his ability to take on guards head on like he was doing well last year.

Is anyone worried about playing him on the DL too much? I know he's a freak, but that could take its toll over his career.

Is this the first thread ever about a player losing weight?

8 pounds of fat would not change that ability, no.

During the training camp opening day press conference McCarthy said Parsons lost some weight. So much for the thread that got started and deleted saying he looked fat.

All elite pass rushers should be protected and not allowed to play on the DL.

It's the state of society today.

Yeah but more Micah means more to love.

 

[EJK24]

Him and Von Miller are built very similar in terms of height and weight. I think he will be fine as far as that goes.

I get that he's a sack monster. Too bad the DL isn't capable of putting more pressure on the QB without rushing a LB.

Parsons speed is what's special. Not many LB's can play in coverage the way he can. I'm not sure he needs to be constantly taking on offensive lineman that have 50-75 lbs. on him.

Yeah I truly believe he is one of those generational talents.

Sounds like we can expect more snaps at CB this year

I think Miller is still using his rookie weight. By all appearances, he looks a bit heavier than Micah

LT was 6:3 and 240 Haley was 6:5 and 250. I wouldnt lose any sleep over it.

Yea, but what was the average weight of an olineman back then

Cowboys line other than Step was big.

Someone said he looked fat in another post .......

Great company and barring injury, I believe he’ll be mentioned with those 2 after a couple more years if he doesn’t go Hollywood. He doesn’t seem to have that personality.
