What’s wrong with Parsons?

[Nexx]

Nothing! He had a sack, 2 TFL, a fumble recovery and 2 QB hits.

Every week with this nonsense

+1, plus a ton of pressures.

I mean it's every week topic. People act like if doesn't get 3 sacks, an INT, and a forced fumble every week something is wrong with him. Other teams are not going to let him beat them.

 

[goshann]

Love him
But he does not look as explosive and is not beating his man as much through initial contact. On the sack he got through clean which is diff than beating someone through contact

His early comparisons to the great LT may have been a tad premature.

That's part of getting a sack.

Taking on a lot of double teams has really taken its toll on him. He came in 5 pounds lighter this season, and he was already not the typical size of a DE.

 

[XXLMike]

He looks slow and lethargic like LVE

 

[ghst187]

Trade him for a fifth

 

[SoBlue128]

He’s undersized for the position he is playing and it’s taking its toll. He needs to add some muscle.

 

[fansince68]

He has worn down. The tank is empty. Quinn used up his battery.

Sooo many during the offseason clamored for Parsons to play exclusively at DE. Presently he doesn't have the frame nor the weight to rush and chase. Micha is tired mentally and physically. We gotta fix our cream puff middle DLine. For now, Micha is my "Mike" LB to be blitzed in certain situations. Reduce his "Trench Warfare" time.

 

[fifaguy]

He’s too small to be an every down pass rusher. He’s beat down.The bigger question is where’s Tank?

Yeah Lawrence was invisible today even moreso.

 

[Whiskey Cowboy]

He has become set in Cowboy culture. If we use the excuse of him being worn down; how are other players in his position faring?

How many other players are playing positions that don't reflect their body structure? Unless he puts on another 15-20 lbs of muscle, he should be used as an edge rusher on obvious passing downs, and moved around various linebacker positions for the rest of his snaps. Wear and tear on the body is a real thing.

To be fair, LT was coked up most of the time.

 

[john van brocklin]

He looks lackadaisical and frankly he’s just not making enough plays anymore. I don’t want to hear injury excuses 100% of players are dealing with something. He doesn’t have the same burst, power, intensity. Thoughts on his regression?

Hurt and double teamed?

Jerry can get him all the smack he needs.

1000%

He is no where near LT

 

[ICP]

He plays all out every down, I gotta think he's banged up and after we are eliminated in the first round we will find out what he's been dealing with

Well one things for sure. You won't be hearing the LT comparisons anymore.

It looks to me like he is worn down. He's not big enough to be an every down rusher taking on a lot of double teams. He doesn't have the burst or the power we saw early in the season.
