Giants coaching staff makes the cowboys look elite



Who's on their staff?
CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.

Defnitely agree that Parsons needs to stay at DE for now. Once D Law comes back full strength then we can look at moving him back to LB.

Last nights DL was just so damn disruptive (when they weren't getting held)

If that's what the coaches do then give Neal, Cox, & Gifford more PT next week. Jaylon is a big play liability!

I think Parsons usage should be based on the opponent. Teams that like to run the ball or use their backs heavily in the pass game should lead to Parsons at LB most snaps. If its a pure passing team then let rush him off the line all game.

Under normal circumstances you play him at LB against Philly and have him spy Hurts. I think they would have dominated even more thoroughly if Hurts hadnt been able to scramble a bit.

Good take and I agree. I'd also add that it might depend on who the other team has at OT. If we are going up against 2 stud OT, I say let our other guys bang their heads against them and let Parsons roam free.

I don't need him getting stonewalled most of the game against a pro bowl OT. On the flip-side, I'm more than happy to let him take advantage of a scrub!

Their 2 biggest plays of the game were hail Marys on broken plays. One was the PI/catch, and the other was the TD. That was very close to a shutout.

This probably would've rubbed me the wrong way before seeing how much of a cut up and good teammate Zeke was on HardKnocks
The comment is from Zeke's little sister

Jaylon would probably be still looking at the RB around the time Parsons tackles Hurts in this highlight

Saw Myles do that to Dak in college after biting hard on the fake. Difference was that Myles just engulfed both of them with his wingspan.

That was also with Diggs taking a really bad angle that in theory should have lost containment which could have set up a huge play. But Parsons speed nullifies it

Remember when Parsons dominated the combine and we were all blown away but bummed cause no way that kind of talent would be there at 10.

Then the "draft experts" spent the next couple of months telling everybody not to believe the numbers and to ignore his game film...

Thanks draft experts!

Parsons is lucky he didn't get flagged for riding him down out of bounds.

Been listening to a lot of Cowboys talk last couple days (I typically do after a win... not so much after a loss).

One talking point has been should Parsons play more/less DE (same thing we were discussing). Definitely guys on both sides, but lots of guys making excellent points that Parsons is a non factor on most of the snaps he's in at DE. Which is typical for the DE spot. Their point is he can impact a lot more plays as a LB.

The only real question... are those 4-5 impact plays at DE more valuable than say 8-10 impact plays he might have at LB?

I'm still in the camp that says QBs do not want to account for him at LB. He makes their ability to audible tough, they don't know where he's going once the ball is snapped, he gets into throwing lanes, he can spy anybody out of the backfield, etc. And at any given time he can drop down and rush from the inside or as a DE.

He had 1 game at LB and looked lost

2 games at DE and he has impacted games

So prob should play LB against the crap teams and get more experience

There is a reason DE's make massive $$$ and LB's don't. Those disruptive plays by DE's end drives. They cause possessions to change. They hide weaknesses at other positions.

He's playing great. And before he got hurt last year he was lighting it up too.

He graded out well in week 1, so it actually serves as a great example of why I like him at DE. He graded out well in week 1, but ultimately, it didn't get the defesne off the field.

Week one against the champs and the best QB of all time and a freak TE. Not exactly a great time to evaluate your rookie.

To me it's very simple and it's cool if people still disagree...

He can impact more plays at LB

He has more impact against the run, mobile QBs, screen pass, etc as a LB

He can still drop down on any given play, put his hand on the ground, and rush inside or outside

He will be more effective as a rush DE when the offense doesn't know when to expect it

Just switch to a 3-4. Parsons is the perfect OLB in that system. He can rush the passer like a madman, stop the run and cover tight ends. He's good firing off at the snap or hanging back. The only reason we have to argue about DE/LB is that he can't do both in our 4-3

RC ran the 1-10 when #1 UH and Heisman Ware came into town.

Shut the run-and-shoot down.

It was an interesting 10 year evolution of cutting edge passing game vs adjusting to defend it. The 1-10 worked great at first vs cougar high, but then the Leach/Mangino spread at the end of the 90s torched it. I think the 99 game vs OU may have been the last we saw of it

Essentially nobody is coming back from injury. Gallimore still a "couple" more weeks... Bossman is a "few" weeks.

Only guys we are possibly getting back are the Covid boys, but last I heard Neal wasn't clear yet.


Question I have, which guys will just inherit their starting job once they come back? Not so sure Dono takes the role away from Kearse. Gallimore will at least share snaps with Osa. Outside of Collins, Gallop, & Tank, these other guys are going to have to perform to reclaim their spots.

After watching the Aggies.... thank God Dak is our QB.

Still isn't quite the same though.
