I actually thought he'd looked pretty good when given snaps, but... he's not a good fit. I thought he was more of a hybrid DT/DE when they drafted him, but he got some pressure and looked alright...
But, I'm also probably a bit more... patient when it comes to young players. I hope for them to produce the first couple years, but until yr 3, I don't really expect mid to late rd picks to be regulars.
ANYWAY.... we may have some issues against the run, I don't know, but what I do know is that in talking about the Eagles-Cowboys game, there was some discussion if Parsons would have made the difference.
2 stats stood out.
1-When Kenny Clark was in, Philly averaged like 2.6 YPC. When he was out, it was 6.6
2-In Micah Parsons entire career, 4 times has a QB run for 100 yards. He's not great vs the run(though he isn't bad, that's a myth that needs to die, he's just not nearly as good vs the run as he is vs the pass...so when he grades out similar to other elite edges, it's because his pass rush is that much better than almost everyone's)...
Anyway, with his 4.39 40 speed and the way he goes after the QB, they do not scramble vs him like they do vs other edges. The way he can bend and keep his feet, it makes his 4.39 look a LOT-LOT faster than LVN or Gary's 4.58 40. The agility to stop rushing up field and pursue the QB is impressive(which most of us I'm sure assumed, but the highlight package they put together for this made it look that much better).
