As the Dallas Cowboys prepare to face the Baltimore Ravens, edge rusher Micah Parsons recognizes the challenge posed by Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, calling Jackson possibly the greatest dual-threat quarterback ever. Despite Jackson's impressive stats, Parsons emphasizes the need for Dallas to improve their defensive execution first.
Parsons criticizes his fellow defenders for their recent performance, particularly against Alvin Kamara and the New Orleans Saints. He insists that the entire unit must adopt a tougher mindset and synchronize their efforts to be effective against star players like Jackson and Henry.
The Cowboys' defensive tackles have struggled early in the season, prompting Parsons to focus on the team's fundamentals rather than worrying about their upcoming matchup. Veteran linebacker Eric Kendricks joins him in urging the defense to step up to the challenge ahead.
Parsons is adjusting to new defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer's strategy to create one-on-one matchups for him, aiming to enhance his impact on the game. With another stellar start to the season, Parsons's versatility in positioning remains crucial for the Cowboys as they look to rebound from recent losses.
