Here is a look at the state of the Cowboys edge rushers
In our last edition of the roster rundown, we discussed the defensive tackles and how they will fit in to improve the defense. Now we move on to the defensive ends. The one area the team should excel at overall is rushing the passer, specifically from the edges. Although losing DeMarcus Lawrence to free agency does take some wind out of their sails, the Cowboys have done a good job of replenishing the position and have good prospects on deck ready to step up to the plate. Today we examine the Cowboys at edge rusher.
Micah Parsons
Micah Parsons checks off every box you want in a pass rusher. He has elite speed and quickness that allows easy paths against guards and centers when isolated pass rushes. Also, his power is underrated especially when rushing from the interior. Once he’s got a path to the quarterback, it’s over. Parsons has phenomenal closing speed and flexibility to retrace back to the quarterback once he has left the pocket.
