Soccer season formally wrapped up a few weeks in the past within the Dallas/Ft. Price area of Texas after the Dallas Cowboys bought embarrassed by the Inexperienced Bay Packers, 38-32. Outspoken All-Professional linebacker Micah Parsons took a while to replicate on the loss after which got here out from his slumber, firing pictures at Dallas’ teaching employees and Jerry Jones’ “all-in” feedback.
“Utterly embarrassing and unacceptable.” – Micah Parsons
“They’re speaking about we’re going all-in this yr and that’s what I might hope for. I hope that we go all-in and I hope we exit and get the gamers we’re lacking as a result of we didn’t do this this yr,” Parsons said. “I hope that we problem ourselves, change into higher, and change into better for us.”
Nothing Parsons mentioned there was inaccurate or unfaithful. He actually hit the nail on the pinnacle and it’s about time somebody inside that group identified these items publicly. Aside from Jones, who speaks typically, however doesn’t all the time observe by way of. We’ve heard the all-in “promise” earlier than. Hopefully, for Cowboys trustworthy, it may be fulfilled.
The primary drawback with Jones’ all-in declare is that they determined to stay with Mike McCarthy as head coach then rotated and misplaced their defensive Coordinator, Dan Quinn, to division rival Washington. Parsons can’t be happy about that and the truth that it looks like they’re simply going to run it again once more.
Parsons spoke of bringing within the gamers they’ve been lacking, however we’ve seen Jones miss out up to now, (see gamers who expressed curiosity in enjoying in Massive D like Von Miller not too way back.) Dallas wants one other energy working again within the backfield. Derrick Henry, a former 2,000-yard speeding energy again needs to be out there. Let’s see if Jones does what he claims as soon as once more and actually goes all-in.
“Guys like Skip [Bayless] who speak so loopy out within the media simply because they’ll.” – Micah Parsons
Parsons additionally went at everybody’s favourite sports activities media punching bag, Skip Bayless. Whereas throwing shade at Bayless, Parsons additionally gave extra perception on why his section that was scheduled for Tuesdays in the Fall of 2022 on Undisputed with Bayless after which co-host, Shannon Sharpe, by no means occurred. Bayless had been hyping Parsons’ debut on the present in September of ’22 then it by no means occurred. We’d by no means actually heard the complete story till now.
Somebody in all probability bought in Parsons’ ear and steered it won’t be the wisest transfer to companion with Bayless given his historical past. To not say that it couldn’t have labored and that it couldn’t have been dealt with higher, however Parsons seemingly made the fitting alternative. So, go forward and add him to the record of present and former professional athletes who haven’t any love for Bayless.
With that mentioned, it’s time for Parsons to step up much more and change into that locker room/crew chief, especially with Quinn leaving for Washington. It’ll be extra than simply about what he does on the sector shifting ahead. This Cowboys locker room can be trying to Parsons for management greater than ever heading into his fourth yr within the NFL. Calling out everybody when wanted is nice, however we’re getting into a interval the place extra duty is more likely to fall on his shoulders and with that additionally comes accountability.
