After the Dallas Cowboys fell to 3-6 on the season through Sunday’s 34-6 house loss to the rival Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas star pass-rusher Micah Parsons saying he felt worse for veteran Cowboys gamers than for head coach Mike McCarthy, suggesting they “put in additional time and work than Mike McCarthy ever did.”
Throughout Monday’s version of the ESPN “Get Up” program, former NFL participant Damien Woody and former head coach Rex Ryan each provided sturdy responses to Parsons’ feedback.
“I’ve by no means heard anybody say something remotely like that after a recreation,” Woody defined, as shared by Nick Kosko of On3. “…There was once a time when there’s a little bit little bit of respect, a little bit decorum within the locker room. As a result of on the finish of the day, it was about we. We didn’t do sufficient.”
McCarthy entered September within the final season of his contract. He is since seen his group besieged by damage woes, together with beginning quarterback Dak Prescott suffering what’s been reported to be a campaign-ending partially torn hamstring. No matter Parsons hoped to realize along with his phrases, outsiders might understandably assume at the very least some Dallas gamers will not spend the second half of this season preventing to earn McCarthy a brand new deal.
“I simply suppose it’s a bunch of BS, man. I actually do,” Woody continued. “We are able to sit right here and chuckle and all that stuff…and be in shock. However that’s disrespectful with what Micah Parsons did to Mike McCarthy in that scenario.”
As for Ryan, he grew up the son of teaching legend Buddy Ryan earlier than Rex served as head coach of the New York Jets and Buffalo Payments. Thus, Rex Ryan is aware of lots in regards to the sacrifices coaches make even amid dropping seasons.
“I don’t care how proficient he’s,” Rex Ryan mentioned about Parsons. “That’s completely BS. And in case you would have labored half as freaking exhausting as a rattling coach does, possibly you’d be capable to play each rattling recreation. Possibly your group wouldn’t simply be a bunch of punks and lay it down each rattling week such as you’re doing. How about being a rattling soccer group? You’re going to promote your rattling coach out. It’s a crock of you realize what.”
ESPN’s Bill Barnwell steered that the Cowboys might make Parsons obtainable through the offseason as Dallas makes an attempt to construct round Prescott after he signed a four-year contract extension reportedly price $240M with $231M assured in September. In the meantime, tales have linked the Cowboys with former New England Patriots head coach Invoice Belichick since at the very least final winter.
One wonders how Belichick would really really feel about sharing a locker room with Parsons following the occasions of this previous weekend.
