Micah is in the top 5 in sacks. In fact he is top 5 in sacks last year and this year. Micah so far is the better player and more importantly he is the better leader. He has transformed our defense. Ware was a quiet, nice guy that got a bunch of sacks. Rarely were they big sacks in big moments.
I meant top 5 in career sacks. We gotta hope Micah body can hold up, he seems to already be wearing down this season

General observation but there are a lot of people that overvalue the talent on this team.

The team sits at 6-3, 5th best record in the NFC and many think they should be better and also undervalue teams like PHL and MIN.

Conclusion: in order to really sort out opinions in this forum you should spend time understanding where some are coming from and for some, it is about individual players more than the team. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a homer but it helps to know if you are reading the posts of someone who is.

It is very difficult for some to let go of what used to be and accept what is. Just because this team gets the coverage of a champion, it is not and hasn't been for almost 3 decades.

Zeke-haters darling Derrick Henry's last two games:

3.1 ypc on 28 carries.
2.8 ypc on 19 carries

season average: 4.1

Zeke season average: 4.1


zeke haters are nuts. This is how power backs work. Running back is STILL a valuable position even Brady knows it. It's not changed as much as some claim.
Henry is averaging 4.4 ypc, not sure where you got 4.1. Henry is on pace for 1700 yards and 17 tds, please don't compare the two, you make yourself look foolish.

Micah Parsons is pretty average as an off ball LB.

Jabril Cox should be playing instead of Anthony Barr.

Brandon Smith should have been called up from the practice squad to play before Tolbert.

If someone teaches Kelvin Joseph to to play the ball in the air he will be a great CB.

The Cowboys need to get Hendershot the ball in the open field more.

Okay...4.4. Henry is worth 1 more foot?...and SO much better? How?

Number of carries. That's how.

3.1 YPC and they STILL gave him 28 carries. That's commitment to the run a big running back is SUPPOSED to get!

You zeke haters the ones that look foolish./ Stats right in your face and you still deny your illogical hate.

After watching these two backs run, can you say Elliott is in Henry's class? Henry is actually playing in an offense that runs through him. Booger is the only one thinking the Cowboys run their offense through Elliott.

In mentioning KJ in all fairness guys like him and Jabril Cox will never progress as strictly ST players . I understand the problem you don’t trust them so you don’t play them you look up next year will be year three for those 2 and Wright. If all three were to wash out that’s a massive hit on that draft .

Henry is pretty much the Titans only weapon. Zeke has the luxury of the threat of a passing game and he still isn't as productive as Henry

I don’t know if this is an unpopular opinion or not, but here’s mine:
  • This defense is overrated. Without Micah Parsons, it’s probably below average. With him it has a great pass rush, but that is neutered when teams can run the ball effectively to get a 3rd and 2 instead of a 3rd and 7. By getting in short yardage 3rd downs, opponents can better handle our pass rush.
  • Our secondary has Diggs and then a mostly average secondary.
  • Our defense saved our season early this year but teams have figured out how to attack and de-fang Parsons by attacking him in the run game.
  • It’s now Dan Quinn’s move- adjustments need to be made. This defense CAN be really good. It hasn’t been in several weeks.

Fans will never get that,, Henrys allowed to be Henry, they took that away from Zeke by hiring Moore and then later making this 2-3 back system..

Jwitten82 you watch that 3.1 YPC game LOL Here Henry would be mocked and would be benched in fans mind for Pollard. Henry has lot of these like ES22 like Zeke, they need carries to be the most effective,

i thiought 4.4 is not good enough, zeke does that many games, if he wasn't sharing the ball with Pollard, he would be having a very good season.

Are you willing to bet against Henry having a career day against the Dallas D?

The league has figured out how to scheme Micah Parsons, and he's going to be perpetually frustrated from here on out.
which is why he needs to play LB. Bashing himself against the big bodies up front will lead to a short career.
