Twitter: The entire defense is being designed around Micah Parsons

[Cebrin]

I mean....sometimes you're that scary. He's a scary talent.

 

[Typhus]

And, you're only allowed a limited time of live tackling in practice. One reason I retired, to many rules....

Have always wondered how they actually enforce this.

Rookie Micah is one of the best players on the defense.

coaches are also supposed to be able to project and have a good idea about what a player can give them based on practice and training camp. Clearly Dan Quinn feels a certain way about Micah.

Lets talk about BPD.. best player defensively, and not being condescending, just trying to keep it real.

Gregory
Diggs

You see where this list is going, should I put A Brown on this list as well..
On comparing early eye test from the couch coach, and I know everyone's opinion matters.
So here is mine...
Parsons is a beast of a steal, we actually traded back to acquire him, and sorry for those in this forum like Joe that dont know the difference between Stainless Steel and aluminum... jk @JoeKing .. open eyes and shut mouth sometimes makes you a smarter person.
Parsons is a rare talent that fell into our laps with room to play on draft day.
The defensive picks seem to be shining in this draft class, and Parsons is the perfect pick that can immediately impact a defense in immediate transition.
I love this package, think @xwalker brought it up earlier.. but can envision this being a go to D set package.

Jaylon better embrace a special teams ace position at this point, he is loosing ground, already lost ground and needs to discover what he can add to this back seven that is quickly evolving.

Here is a team that doesn't know how to balance an offense or coach special teams, but they have the intelligence to build around a rookie they had no idea would be on the team. Hhmm

Well its Quinns first year, so maybe yes.

Plenty of parents in the stands with stop watches! Lol
Seriously, it's not hard....just include it in your practice schedules...most coaches have very intricate and precise schedules.

 

[J-man]

This quote caught me attention.
"I think he's going to be the most versatile defender in the league."
WOW! That is some big praise for Baldy!

 

[LACowboysFan1]

If Parsons is put mostly at MLB, and the Cowboys run a 4-3 defenses a lot, it would make sense, the 4-3 was designed by Landry around the MLB...

Not enforcing with your players,, talking about how the league/CBA rules and how can teams actually be held accountable to the letter of the rule.

Plenty of eyes around NFL teams....plus each had a players rep that needs to report to the union of any rules are being broken. These guys are pros and most won't hesitate to speak up.

Parsons is a flash in the pan. The kid just doesn't impress me.

This is a second reason you’re not coaching material, you have zero eye for talent

 

[jnday]

I'm not with you on that. I say throw him out there and let him determine what he can and can't do. Some rookies have the best year of their careers that first year. Others do better when they become seasoned. It'll become apparent fairly quickly to the coaches if there is something he isn't ready for.

That doesn't mean he isn't going to make mistakes, but seasoned vets make mistakes.

I look at it like Trevon Diggs. He could have spent the year on the bench instead of having an up-and-down rookie season as a starter. However, he showed the strengths of his game and the weaknesses and hopefully, he's grown from that. From all accounts, he has, but we'll see.

I have watched a lot of rookies struggle when they are thrown into the heat of the action. A lot of times it ruins their confidence and it takes a long time for them to recover.

You know he's trolling, don't you? Or being sarcastic.

It's what he does. Can be very entertaining sometimes...

 

[JoeKing]

Well, if he's it, you're right, I don't see it. There is nothing nefarious going on here, I have no agenda. I just don't see what everyone else claims to see in him. I hope that doesn't mean we can't be friends.

Against the Texans 2 out of 28 snaps Cowboys were in a 4-3 alignment

Do you mean the snaps Parsons was playing? Obviously the defense was on the field more than 28 snaps.

And there have been a lot of rookies who have succeeded and went on to have great careers. You have to judge where they are and what the expectations for them should be based on practice and preseason. If they show they aren't up for something yet, then you reel that in. You don't handcuff them, though, before you know what they can handle.

For example, when offenses start being more exotic, maybe Parsons will have problems figuring out his assignments. If that's the case, it's up to the defensive coordinator to simplify what he does so he can play with speed instead of overthinking. That doesn't mean you adjust for every blown assignments. You have to figure out, though, when it's a learning experience and when it is just too big for the player.

Right. We'll mostly be in the nickel because teams run a lot of three-receiver sets. The 4-3 (or modified 3-4) alignment will be used primarily when teams are in two-tight end or tight end-two back sets. Some teams use more two-tight end than others.

Sorry I meant the first half snaps (with 1st team DEF) Parsons on field for 18 of the 28
