Situational pass rush and thump RB has always been the base traits…side to side athletism is a separator…but it’s the coverage skills now in demand with Pass catch TE a more pronounced weapon and pass catching RB now a staple in strategy.

Parsons will struggle…expect the same struggle from our first round pick LB Davis

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
