Cowboys’ Micah Parsons Surprised by Seahawks’ Defensive Play Design
In a thrilling game on Thursday night, Cowboys pass rusher Micah Parsons made a crucial play to seal the victory for his team against the Seattle Seahawks. Parsons forced Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith into an incompletion on fourth down, leading his team to a hard-fought win. However, Parsons was surprised at how clear a path the Seahawks gave him to Smith.
After the game, Smith revealed that the Seahawks’ play design allowed Parsons to come free, but they had hoped to complete a quick pass before Parsons got to him. Unfortunately for the Seahawks, their plan did not work out as intended.
Parsons himself assumed that a running back was supposed to block him, but the block did not come in time. Regardless, Parsons believes that opposing teams would be wise to account for him on every play.
“I think they left a back on me. I mean, that’s not a good strategy either,” Parsons told reporters.
The young pass rusher has proven to be a force to be reckoned with on the field, and it’s clear that teams need to strategize on how to slow him down on the way to the quarterback. Parsons’ ability to wreck an offense sets him apart from other players in football, and it will be interesting to see how teams adjust their game plans when facing him in the future.
