Micah Parsons wants Cowboys to run it back next season

The 2024 Dallas Cowboys have been one of many NFL’s most disappointing groups, getting into Monday evening’s sport in opposition to the Cincinnati Bengals with a 5-7 document that has them in third place within the NFC East and just about out of the NFC playoff race barring an unbelievable stretch run.

Regardless of that, one of many workforce’s greatest stars desires to see the workforce run it again subsequent season with largely the identical group.

Together with head coach Mike McCarthy. 

Parsons made that very clear in an interview with ESPN forward of Monday’s sport, arguing that the accidents the workforce handled this season — particularly on the defensive facet of the ball — made it virtually unimaginable for the workforce to compete.

Parsons himself missed a number of weeks. 

Right here is a part of Parsons’ feedback by way of ESPN.

“I believe I would love a good shot with everybody again — gamers, coaches — as a result of the accidents sort of struck of what this season may actually be,” Parsons stated in an interview with ESPN that can air earlier than the Cowboys’ Monday Evening Soccer matchup in opposition to the Cincinnati Bengals. “The accidents have been horrible. And, you already know, it actually sucks. Seeing Zack [Martin], D-Legislation [DeMarcus Lawrence] not having the yr I do know he deliberate to have. He had such an ideal begin. It actually sucks.

Parsons additionally spoke extremely of McCarthy and his relationship with the pinnacle coach. 

“By way of teaching, man, Coach Mike, me and his relationship has all the time been actually good. He all the time took actual excellent care of me. I simply do not know the way the how the enterprise facet of it is going to go, you already know? [Owner and general manager Jerry Jones] has his personal mindset about who he desires to teach. That is his workforce. I am sort of simply, like, a pawn on this enterprise.”

Together with the accidents on protection, the Cowboys are additionally with out beginning quarterback Dak Prescott, who’s going to be sidelined for the rest of the season.

Cooper Rush is the workforce’s present starter for the remainder of the season. 

Parsons may be right that the accidents have performed a unfavorable position within the workforce’s efficiency, however it was additionally a workforce that entered the season with some critical query marks after a surprisingly quiet offseason by possession and the entrance workplace. 

That is McCarthy’s fifth yr because the Cowboys head coach, and earlier than this season had three consecutive 12-win seasons. For a standard group, it may be an overreaction to fireside a coach with that form of current observe document attributable to only one unhealthy yr the place a number of of the workforce’s finest gamers missed vital time attributable to damage. 

However the Cowboys will not be a standard group, and given the way in which final yr’s postseason ended (with a blowout loss at residence within the Wild Card spherical) and the variety of instances they’ve been dominated at residence this season, McCarthy would possibly very effectively be on the recent seat. 

If Dallas can end robust and get nearer to .500 (or above), given the accidents, it may be sufficient to convey McCarthy again. If they don’t end robust, it’s laborious to know what Jerry Jones would possibly do in the event that they end with six or seven wins.
