Dallas does not want to redeem it, but in a coaching staff the future is already evaluated without the best scoop in the team
Oxnard, California – Let's start with a simple premise: Dallas Cowboys They have no intention of redeeming Micah Parsons. THE OWNER AND GENERAL MANAGER Jerry Jones He declared it on Saturday, one day after the Pro Bowl CagaMaiscals requested his transfer.
But these are Jones, and it has always been better to have an attitude of ever saying in almost any situation. In 1989, the cowboys redefined the franchise by exchanging their best player, Herschel Walkerto the Minnesota Vikingswhich directed Dallas to win three Super Bowls in the 1990s.
So maybe Cowboys Accept an agreement that leaves them speechless, even if it is not the best for success in 2025.
With that clarified, how would the body of Cazamariscales look Cowboys sin Micah Parsons On the defensive line?
Parsons adds 52.5 captures in his first four seasons.
Dante Fowler Jr. It has 55.5 in 10 seasons. Sam Williamswho did not play last season due to a breakage of the anterior cross ligament of the left knee, recorded 8.5 captures in his first two campaigns. Marshawn Kneeland He did not record any capture in 11 games in 2024, his rookie season. Payton Turnerfree agent, recorded five captures in four seasons with the New Orleans Saints. It is also Donovan Aitauzu, Selected in the second round of the 2025 draft, who has had a good performance at the beginning of the training camp.
Probably unintentionally, Fowler did not mention Parsons when talking about other Cazamariscales, although Parsons has not yet practiced in the training camp.
“I love this Cazamaiscales room, no doubt,” he said Dante Fowler Jr.
The new defensive coordinator, Matt EberflusHe praised the work of Micah Parsons behind the scenes, with the intention of understanding what he needs to do when he enters the training field with O (theoretically) without contract.
“It has exceptional intelligence. Obviously, exceptional talent,” Eberflus said. “We are excited to be able to move it throughout the line, but also excited by the other Cazamariscales that we have to create other mismatches. Micah is an important part of that because we know that he will receive most of the attention and that will free other players. But we are also looking for other ways.”
Sam Williams He has promised a spectacular 2025 after getting lost last season. He has been active throughout the training camp, even pressing with some blows to unprotected training.
“Sam Williams He is having a spectacular camp, “said the coach of the Cowboys, Brian Schottenheimer. “No one is surprised, simply because we know the type of athlete that is. Speed, power.”
Ezeiruaku has been one of the most impressive players of the training camp, impacting the field marshal daily. Maybe it has not reached the Parsons level, but to the Cowboys They liked everything he has done and are even more surprised to have recruited him with the 44th team of the Draft.
“I give credit to the defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton“said the executive vice president of Dallas, Stephen Jones. “He was at the table with selection 12 (in the first round). He jumped with joy saying: 'This boy is the number 12. Let's go for him!'”
Ezeiruaku said he has studied CagaMaiscals as the member of the Hall of Fame of the Cowboys, DeMarcus WareParsons, By Miller, Nick Bosa, T.J. Watt y Yannick Ngakoue. With 1.88 meters, Ezeiruaku is not as high as other Cazamariscales, but Parsons measures 1.90 meters.
“You have to recognize the merit of learning, to see many videos,” said Ezeiruaku. “Obviously, many repetitions. We have a saying that may have heard: 10,000 repetitions. That is what has been needed so far, and I know what will be needed to reach that level.”
At different times of training, Park has approached Ezeiruaku to give him his opinion. Fowler, who recorded 10.5 captures last season with the Washington Commandershe has been a great admirer of the rookie.
“Play with a lot of advantage,” Fowler analyzed. “All who play at the advantage have that key factor. They know they are one of them. If you can go out with confidence as a defensive wing, you already have advantage. I love Don's confidence. He led the American football in captures last year, so his trust is very good in his way of playing. I can see that he is a special guy.”
It's too much to ask someone to be Parsons.
Only the members of the Reggie White Hall of Fame (70), Derrick Thomas (58) and Ware, in addition to the future member of the Hall of Fame JJ Watt (57), have registered more marsal captures in their first four seasons than Parsons, since the captures became an official statistic in 1982.
Micah Parsons He reached 12 captures last season despite missing four games for an ankle sprain.
While Jones was not ready to say that Parsons would play on September 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles, Trust that an agreement will be reached.
Marshal pressure with Parsons could be one of the best that the Cowboys In recent years, which opens possibilities for Eberflus. An unparalleled seafaring pressure would not be the same, but to the Cowboys They like what they have.
“We can create problems with players due to the way we initially play with the attack front,” Schottenheimer clarified. “But also with the depth we have on the defensive line.”
