Was Micah Sick?

[Proof]

The D played better when Parsons was SUCKING air on the sideline every other down. So called super stars don’t take a knee every other down when the game is on the line! Thank GOD for the great defensive play on Tampa Bay’s last offensive play!!!!!

no they didn't

Parsons is getting worn down b/c he's an undersized DE trying to muscle much larger men all game.

He needs to play more LB but I dont know if he can anymore....even when he read the play correctly last night he either over ran it or was not in position to make a proper tackle. Right now he is one dimensional it seems.

IMHO the constant need for excuses is the worst part. I was tired. I was sick. I was dinged up. Nobody cares dude. His role on the team needs to be seriously reevaluated and that game was a good example of that. No more first down snaps. No short yardage snaps. Second and third down obvious passing plays only. Less DE snaps and more blitzing LB snaps. He has incredible gifts lets just try to work with him to maximize those gifts to the benefit of the team.

Thank you for clarifying! He gets a pass this week and hopefully he kicks it and comes back stronger than ever!

Didn’t he have eight pressures and a sack? Doesn’t he have almost ten sacks this year despite missing a month?

He should be playing about 60% of the snaps. He should never be in on first down or any obvious rushing downs. He simply is not interested. When Diggs and Parsons are out the run defense is pretty reasonable.

You pull him out on 1st down and teams will be passing on 1st down all the time against us!

 

[bluemagic4ever]

He was on the injury report for illness before the game this week. As harsh as I am on his maturity and focus at times, I think he had to be still sick. Bc he definitely didnt look like himself.

Well he doesn't get a sack on every play, so he sucks.

I‘ve been harsh on Micah’s play this season but what I watched Sunday night was just plain pitiful! Micah took himself out of the game several times after only playing a down or two And you could see on the sidelines he was gassed! On other plays, you could see Micah just plan taking the play off without any kind of effort whatsoever! He didn’t do this in his first few years in the league and if you don’t believe me, go back and watch the game again! I’m beginning to believe that Micah is a player with all of the God gifted talent in the world which he obviously has perfected with hard work but I do question his desire to be a game wrecker and his desire to be a player who has the heart of a Lion on every down, not just the ones he picks and chooses! . Did anyone notice what I did?

Yes, he was sick. He clearly ran out of steam on that two-minute drive, but tried to keep going even though his body wouldn't cooperate. We have fans that get mad because he has to have plays off (even when he's not sick) even though when he's out there he's fighting through guys that outweigh him by 50-plus pounds and going full speed snap after snap chasing the QB. It's really kind of disgusting how our fans treat our best players.

he was sick. he's been on an absolute tear since coming back, and the defense as a whole since his return is leading the league in sacks, pressures and i think 2nd in win rate.

The man works so hard he gets exhausted. I imagine there's truth to his size making things harder at times.

 

[Kingofholland]

If you think the Cowboys are better without Parsons I'll just assume you don't watch the games . I get some don't like the podcast or the talk, but he does produce on the field.

The great players have a microscope and if they don't make a play or standout some might say they're overrated, but ask any offensive player who they game plan for every play on the Cowboys defense and the answer is obvious.

True, but what does that have to do with him being sick?

 

[WoodysGirl]

Just dropping this here instead of creating new threads...

 

[MyFairLady]

I have no issues with him taking plays off I just want him to be on the sideline when he does. I feel like if anyone else took plays off on the field like he does sometimes there would be consequences for them. Micah is fantastic but you don't get special treatment by getting dog walked at home in the playoffs against wild card scrubs.

 

[Praxit]

Parsons needs to move to linebacker and only rush on obvious passing downs. We have a need at linebacker and there's no reason for him to be lining up against guys 100 pounds heavier every play.

...yep, I feel for the guy. Hardly see's one on one. He's double teamed at some point every down.

[DoctorChicken]

He had 8 pressures, a sack, a forced fumble, 5 tackles and a TFL.

And yes, he was sick.

I think anyone complaining about Micah right now is just someone who is looking for something to complain about.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

It's because every year he is misused. He is.not LT and should not be playing DE all season.

They should imo use him the way Tampa used David last night. They let him play off of Vea who ate the big boys allowing to David to do his thing.

Been said move him around not locked in on one side only.
