Dallas94Ware Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Oh, also, wasnt Parsons in trouble once for mushroom stamping a team mate in some hazing thing? Kids do dumb crap when they get away from home for the first time. Long as its an isolated incident they grow from, thats typical kids being kids stuff. Its the kids who constantly do dumb things because they never take the wake up call as a moment of growth that worries me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Gregory was an Anthony Spencer type. But dont let sack stats mislead you, either. Sacks, just like pressures, can be both essential and misleading: whats it matter if a player has 10 sacks but 8 are on 2nd and short and were folllwed up by first down throws on 3rd and 8 or 3rd or 10, because they cant get through forna sack on better protections typically associated with the playcalls seen on 3rd and 5+?

Ok I should have said Game Changing plays. Elite pass rushers can make game changing plays. You wanna be elite, get the big money, be that type of player. Big reason why I was against giving that big payday to Dlaw. He is not a dynamic game changer on Defense. Now Parsons, that’s a different story. If he continues in his development, he is going to be something really special as a dynamic, elite game changer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiller Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I had zero awareness of him as a player. My only concern is he too one dimensional. That might not be too bad if he can be effective playing in the rotation of what we already have at RT DE. I am just worried that year in year out it seems we struggle at the end of the year stopping the run and Williams weakness is the run game.

Now Parsons, that’s a different story. If he continues in his development, he is going to be something really special as a dynamic, elite game changer. I was heavily against paying Lawrence like he was our version of Strahan, as well. He can be disruptive, and he can penetrate, play the run, and has a knack for going at the ball - but he is not that game changing pass rusher who, on 3rd down, requires that extra attention or he WILL break up that play before the drop back ends. Those are the players who deserve those whopper mil a year contracts. Thats just not who Lawrence is. I made this comparison years ago when we paid him and all those others back then, and ill make it again: remember when we overpaid Austin, Barber, James, Ratliff, Spears, that kicker whos name I forget, and others? Cost Wade his job, and wasted 4 or 5 years of Romo in his prime while we ate terrible cap situations and rebuilt. When you pay an average player like he is really good, and a good player like he is going to make the hall of fame, its going to cost you years of success. Pay for mediocrity and you get mediocrity. That is what happened with Lawrence, Cooper, hell even Zeke to a point. We paid them like they were better than they were, and its held us back. The loyalty Jerry shows his players is really cool. But there is a such thing as being loyal to a fault. Edited April 30, 2022 by Dallas94Ware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiller Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Well Philly is one team I did not want to see get Dean... we will be very amped to show that he can play in the NFL.... and if he is healthy he can be an all pro... sigh.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiller Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 so.. Tolbert, Austin, Shikar or Ruckert are possible here... or... is it Kerby Joseph to help our deep coverage and special teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is usually the spot we take a 3tech and say see, we try picking run stuffers! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiller Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Well got Tolbert.... not my first choice of who is left. I guess he has size which is an advantage but saying he is not a route runner is a huge red flag to me. WE NEED WR'S THAT CAN GET OPEN AGAINST MAN TO MAN...

He had 12.5 sacks in the SEC this season, so I think you’re good. I am stoked for this guy. I have felt for a long time that he’s one of the most underrated players in this draft. Rare measurable—guys with his athleticism tend to be very successful in the NFL—and absolutely relentless on the football field. Perfect scheme & need fit. I really thought he was a key to this draft for us. Would have been amazing to get him at #88, but I totally get Dallas not wanting to risk it.
