Or obvious passing situations. Or if the other team is trailing and needing to pass. He gets in their lightning quick. Hopefully he can make other D-lineman better when teams start focusing on him. He can do so much more on 3rd down than rushing on the edge. He can blitz up the middle, he can show blitz and drop, he can spy a mobile QB. I don’t think you want to pigeonhole him.

Nextyearfordaboyz Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Parsons had success as a defensive end against, perhaps, the worst starting RT in football. I am thrilled with how he looked, and think he could be an impact rusher/blitzer all up and down the line. But I think the comparison to the best full-time Edge defenders in football is a little premature, and I’d rather develop him into a guy that terrorizes from everywhere on the field. There are only a handful of guys like that in football, and Parsons could be a DPOY if we utilize him that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously he has a long way to go, but I don't think anyone can deny the potential is there. It feels really encouraging right now at the least. I'll stick with my "Lou Gehrig" for "Wally Pipp" dream for a little longer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matts4313 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 It just hit me. Parson is Derrick Thomas reincarnate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northland Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Given his athleticism I move Parsons around to take advantage of his skill set and keep opposing offenses guessing as to what he will do and where he is coming from.

D82 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 It’s early and we’ve seen guys fall off after a promising start (Jaylon) but I’m thinking we may have been wrong about Parsons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
