Pass rush skill usually comes from explosiveness (quick first step), bend (flexibility to lower shoulders and turn tight corners to get around tackles) and pass rush techniques (different moves they deploy to try and fool offensive lineman).

Run defense skill is typically about strength, leverage and gap integrity (clogging up rushing lanes for running backs). Also good run defenders are excellent tacklers and have the ability to take down a running back with forward momentum without allowing him to escape or fall forward for extra yards.

Parsons is fast, explosive and has amazing bend which is why he is an elite pass rusher. I think he is strong and smart enough to be a good run defender but he just doesn’t seem that committed to it. Guys get paid for sacks and QB hits.

Shots fired!

I had their app for awhile and it always seemed the funds were full so I thought it was doing well. I never invested though.

I would have him 2 as well if you only account for pass rush.

1000 plays is a decent sample but not if 900 of them came last year when half the Cowboys starting defense was hurt most of the year.

I am not saying he isn't a great player, he is. I agree he is an impact player. I don't think he is a top 3 DE but probably top 5.

All I know is 49ers are 4-0 against the Cowboys since 2021 and they run straight at Parsons every time. They are averaging 28.5 points in those games. Not bad against the "best" defense.

Much of this sample of "league's second worst defense" was from last year and they were missing a bunch of guys on D not just Parsons.

That's a lot of money for a guys that isn't elite in all facets of the game. He is a hell of a pass rusher and is versatile, can even drop him back in coverage but any time the 49ers play the Cowboys they run straight at Parsons.

Wow big add for the Pack. I am not the biggest Parsons guy, he stinks against the run but he is definitely an elite pass rusher.

Haha

There have been some good ones this season.

Yeah. My mistake.

It's ok. He is a cool guy. It's my fault, I didn't check the settings but I was surprised that telegram which is supposed to be privacy focused defaults to discoverable.

They are all bad. Some worse than others.

This is slightly better but still don't like it.

Those weren't bad. I think black works well with a brighter accent colour like silver, light blue or yellow. This just all looks dark. Even the red and gold look darker than normal.

I am not a big fan of black alternate uniforms. I don't mind if it's part of the main design like Raiders, Saints, Steelers.

Haha. I just don't like it. Too dark. Maybe if I saw it in natural light as opposed to serial killer setting.

Fair. Maybe first 10 items should be free not just the first one. That way people can actually try out the site. Some people might abuse that and make multiple accounts to try to never pay but get sats in return. It's a tough problem.

Pretty incredible and here I am procrastinating. Hopefully I can get a submission in by August 31 1158.

I am not going to say no to a game of catch with this fellow.
