Chargers Stuff...

I assume by DE they mean the DPR/stand up 3-4 OLB LEO type role that he was already dabbling in.

They better not just line him up across from OT's all day and ask him to bang heads.

 

[boozeman]

So just got a notice that they are moving Parsons to DE with the injuries?

An exaggeration I hope. They were giving him additional reps as prep, but he is not cut out to be an every down rusher.

I'm guessing it will be 3-4 Olber type DE. Like Ware was.

My guess is they will move him around a lot. With a player like parson the DE at the end of his name doesn't really mean anything.

I mean he is our best pass rusher right now.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Yeah, I don't think he'll be full time outside rusher. At least I hope not. I think this is just from Basham and a couple others saying he was working there a little bit.

Why is information like that getting out?

Seems like the smart thing to do is to keep that info to yourself and see if you can catch the Chargers off guard for a few series.

Our owner has a big mouth. The players have big mouths.

Football is a game of inches and we insist on giving up inches before the game even starts.

Such is life as a Dallas Cowboy.

Agreed, why let the other team know?

Cowboys to play linebacker Micah Parsons at DE due to defensive line injuries

Baldy's Breakdowns: Micah Parsons is the centerpiece of the Dallas defense


When the Dallas Cowboys drafted Micah Parsons at No. 12, they selected the consensus top rated off-the-ball linebacker despite already being stacked at the position group. And just two weeks into the season -- out of a serious need -- they are already moving him.
The talented tackler from Penn State will essentially move to defensive end, sources say, beginning with Dallas' game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Thanks to the broken foot that Demarcus Lawrence suffered at practice this week, along with Randy Gregory landing on the COVID-19 list, there is a big-time void when it comes to rushing the passer. Parsons should help fill it.
With Parsons making a move, Leighton Vander Esch should stay on the field in all packages along with Keanu Neal, which is another added benefit of the Parsons shift. Neal may play added safety snaps this week, paving the way for more Jaylon Smith snaps. Some tinkering for sure, but Dallas' D is confident it can perform.

Will Cox see any action?
