I think having Kneeland and Lawson has helped Micah.

Those guys have been disrupting things (as has Osa more this season). That really opens up opportunities for Micah and blitzing DBs.

in the past the disrupter was basically DLaw and that's it. There's been more work from others and Micah has benefited.
And vice versa.....funny how team sports tend to work that way.

He is playing outstanding right now. They don't beat the Bucs without him.
Shouldn’t have beat the Bucs in the first place. No smart team that is literally eliminated from the playoffs goes out and wins games. Lance should be starting to assure that. But this FO wants to sell this coaching staff to the fan base, do nothing in FA again, and pray. It’s the cowboy way. This franchise is run by 2 incompetent people pretending to be football people. And fans like you lap it up like a puppy trying wet food for the first time.

Gather round children, im going to tell you some true stories.

lets put this in perspective, there was once a legendary line backer, so feared, we couldnt win without him. His name was Jaylon Smith and he was feared througout the NFL. True story some offensive coaches just quit instead of seeing him on the field opposite their team.

So feared, Joe Gibbs returned to the NFL just to quit to prove how feared Smith was. J Smith had all the awards, stats, achievements you could ever want. HIs contract was so big, 50 banks had to cover it. We won game after game and hoisted at least 50 lombardis with him. 1 player was so feared, the NFL was never the same.

And do you know what happened? He was released and we are the same team with him as we are without him.

There once was a defensive player, Anthony Spencer on this team, no God walked a better life than he. He was ferocious, nasty, wicked spirited and made offensive linemen disappear The accolades that that player recieved are legendary. Posters here would defend him, tell you how awesome he was. No lie, he played at 9 feet tall and gave it 110 percent. Thats how good he was.

We are the same team we are today with and without him.

Once long again, in a galaxy far far away, there was once an offensive player, Ryan Switzer. This guy was so legendary defensive coordinators retired instead of game planning for him. With one finger, he scored 5 TDs in one play. Miracles do happen and he made so many happen. Watching him on the field. One time he did a movie while playing a game. True story.

We are the same team we are today than we are without him.

There was once a player from Polk High, a running back so feared, that when we drafted him, we were presented 10 Lombardis that day. He had 4 touch downs in one game. He went on to marry a red head.


Let me tell you the legend of Micah Parsons and all THAT HE BEHOLDS and long after he is gone.

We will be the same team we are today with or without him.

Tell me what has he done in the playoffs? He’s playing now to cash in next year.
He’s no TJ watt, Garrett or Bosa

Trade him… but you know they won’t
Micah in the playoffs... 3 games, 1 sack, 18 tackles, 3 TFL, 4 QB hits.

Watt in the playoffs... 3 games, 1 sack, 8 tackles, 3 TFL, 4 QB hits.

Garrett in the playoffs... 3 games, 1 sack, 6 tackles, 1 TFL, 2 QB hits.

I give you Bosa, but the other two are pretty damn similar in the playoffs you asked about. And for the record neither of them were traded.

This and other comments like it will get ignored by those who are banging the disappears and tired drum. Truth is they don't like him and are not going to, but the numbers he produces, the pressure he gets don't fit the narrative, so they have to grab hold of what they can.

Again, I compare it to Ware. Some are finally giving him the credit he deserves (and some are still treating him like he's not worthy of the Pro Football Hall of Fame), but there was a vocal portion of the fan base that beat the drum that he never got sacks when it counted. Never mind if a sack in the first quarter caused a turnover or ended a drive. If he didn't get a fourth-quarter sack and the other team won, well, that shows he's not that good.

It's funny to me some can realize now that that was a poor narrative for a Hall of Famer who went on to win a Super Bowl as a key part of a great defense not in Dallas, but can't see they are doing the same thing that was done to Ware with Parsons.

It’s not about liking or disliking it. It’s about knowing what playing well means.

Same coaching staff, same players, not real change. It also means Jerry and his son don’t have to look in the mirror and can continue doing what they have been doing. Which is. Sitting on their hands in FA, and hoping to hit on every draft pick. Then selling the fan base, so fans like you get excited and the same results happen. I want change. Meaningful change. That doesn’t happen when the team wins games that don’t matter.

The only way this team changes is when bad results keep coming. Even then it doesn’t happen.

You want to know why I hate playing well? Playing good got us stuck with Garrett for 10 years. Because the players didnt “quit” on him.

Hes not the kinda player you go and try to trade away, ESPECIALLY when he's telling you he wants to take less to be here. Instead you go and try to acquire another guy like him! Cowboys should call the Raiders about Max Crosby.

How can they sit on their hands in free agency when they have roster spots to fill and 100 million to spend?
