Parsons will struggle…expect the same struggle from our first round pick LB Davis
The difference being the knock on Parsons is his coverage skills, not that he cannot develop them, but that is considered one of the strengths for Davis. Parsons is a more natural pass rusher so he will likely get more splashy highlight stats like sacks and pressures which will keep him high in the minds of DROY voters.

Yeah he was horrible in pass coverage last night but again it's 1 game.. I think he'll end up being a Lavonte David type player

Quinn must think Parson's is better at pass coverage than stopping the run, or Quinn is not very smart, because they were saying over and over about how Parson's was mostly in there on obvious passing downs, and that they were rotating Smith/Vander Esch with Parsons/Neal.

I think I saw a post which was like Parson was target 5 times, gave up 4 passes for like 75 yards. Avg almost 20 per catch ain’t good

It really is. Gronk looked great. Brady just has weapons everywhere and Jones/Fournette is a good 1-2 punch. They are going to be tough again. Brady looked sharp as usual. Dude is totally unbelievable.

For sure, especially when that offense has 6 receivers (3 WRs and 3 TEs) that can be #1 receiver for many other teams.

Dak is legit. Anyone who refuses to see it at this point is just a hater. What can you say about Brady? The guy is simply amazing and is showing no signs of slowing down. Wish I had Antonio Brown on my fantasy radar. He looked like the AB from his Pittsburgh days.

I remember him putting up ridiculous numbers and making new England a contender a few years ago when literally every starter was injured. I know I'm not saying anything anyone doesn't know....but we are lucky to see the greatest ever playing.

This is why my dream scenario was for Jerry to eff things up and let him walk this offseason, and we could have picked him. I know it is was a pipe dream, but Dak in our team would have ridiculous.

Man, if Dak hit the market I would have had zero problem with him coming here for big $$. The guy can play and he's good guy.

I dare to say that we would have been instant SB contenders.

The 2016 Draft for us was a disaster. That draft was a total F.

Re: Around the NFL: Week 1

Dallas may have a better O line than most, but they showed last night just how to beat a team with a good D line or front 7...balls out quick. Our run defense and secondary better be improved from last year...or it will be a tough season because we will not be able to put up points like either of those offenses.
