Bowles isn't going to stop dropping OLB in coverage which is why having Reddick is so important because he is a far better player in space.
Reddick has had abysmal coverage grades the entirety of his career. Arizona had him playing nearly 40% of his snaps in coverage.
Carolina/Philly had him at around 8%.
Wonder what his most productive and highest graded seasons were?
Naturally, Todd will have him closer to the 40% than the 8%; because lock down, man-to-man, press coverage EDGE rushers are super duper important.
Sacks can come from our safeties and NCB’s.
Bowles doesn't have to focus on anything other than defense now. So no excuses. Generate pressure without dropping your 400 pound NT into zone coverage
With a different DC, I’d make that Parsons trade.
If it included Vea? Yep.
Bucky? Yep.
At the risk of losing Otton and McCollum? Yep.
With our current DC? Nope.
bwhahaha you are trying way to hard lmao.
According yo you, Bowles is perpetually on the hot seat (hows that working out Mr Football Savant?) so of course if you were the Bucs GM you'd make that trade because Bowles would be gone
Although, how would you keep betting against the Bucs with no Bowles?
LMAO
Btw, just to blow the RB collective minds, Parson made DROY playing a ton of OFF-BALL LB (ie DROPPING INTO COVERAGE). He's probably dropped into coverage 25-30% of the plays
That damn Dan Quinn!

how about 355?
Oh sorry didn't realize we were talking 35-10 blow out lead vs the browns last week of the season with Bailey Zappe dropping dimes.

You do understand the difference between Parsons athleticism and our DEs yes? Parsons is truly a freak...
And just because it worked (did it work?) doesn't mean it's a good strategy to consistently use.
AI Overview
+2
Micah Parsons has not been graded as an elite coverage player; he received a PFF grade in the low 70s in 2021 when he played significantly more linebacker snaps, with his coverage snaps dwindling to very few in later years. His elite and consistent grades have come from his pass-rushing ability. He has a career pass-rush grade of over 90.0 and has recorded an elite pass-rushing grade of 93.7 in 2023.
Coverage Grades and Snaps
2021:
Parsons played 295 coverage snaps and earned a 70.0 PFF coverage grade, ranking 12th among linebackers, according to Cowboys Wire.
2022 & 2023:
His coverage snaps decreased dramatically, with only 76 snaps in 2022 and a minimal 19 snaps in 2023, as the Dallas Cowboys increasingly used him as a full-time edge rusher.
Pass Rush Grades (where he is elite)
Pass Rush Consistency: Parsons has never recorded a pass rush grade below 91.5 in his career, showcasing his exceptional consistency as a pass rusher.
PFF Elite Grades: PFF gave him a 93.7 pass-rushing grade in 2023.
Career Sacks: He has recorded 52.5 sacks in his career, putting him on pace to be one of the best pass rushers in NFL history.
Conclusion
While Parsons can drop into coverage, it's not his strength, and his elite grades come from his dominant pass-rushing abilities. His high draft capital and trade value are tied to his ability to generate pressure, not cover opposing players.

You’ll have to excuse the board’s biggest attention-seeking cunt, while he confirms this with Florio.
May take awhile, as it’s happy hour.

it will take longer for you to show you're not a troll, LMAO
but here I'll let your boyfriend make that point
You say NOW, no Parsons trade because Bowles is the DC, right? hed waste parson having him drop in coverage. . . RIGHT??
Last season though . . in a discussion where you were "100% " behind trading for Crosby (*with Bowles as the DC, of course) it was BIGGS who posted this lol
We’re seeing these [Bucs] edge players (like JTS) drop more often because they aren’t beating guys one-on-one and getting to the QB.
If a miracle happens and Crosby comes to Tampa, he’ll be rushing the QB the overwhelming majority of the time.
BWAAAAHHHHH
the point, DH, is that you spend so much effort trolling that your own posts hopelessly contradict themselves over and over and over . . and Biggs pointing that out is just gravy because he's just a carbon copy of you (pun INTENDED)

For sure.
He even had a grievance with the Cowboys over his DE designation. Thats mostly about money but alos because he sees himself as a totalLB, not a pass rusher. BUT no doubt he is truly elite on the line.
To bad the Bucs wouldn't trade for him. .. if DH was the GM. Buy Crosby though . . .
compare to America's Team
They will get it done but this is the offseason news for the 3rd place Cowboys
“The two sides have gone backwards, not forwards,” Schefter added. “I don’t think they’re speaking very much these days, if at all. This negotiation, when it was a negotiation, has gone sideways. It’s not a negotiation right now. There’s really no conversation about getting a deal done.
“That could change next week. It could change shortly before the season. We’ve seen how long Dallas sometimes waits on some of these deals. See CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott last season.”
