Starvation doesn't care what you feed it. That was the mindset for linebacker when he squared off against former sixth-overall pick and the in Week 2. In the absence of All-Pro pa s rusher , who was moved to injured reserve after fracturing his foot in practice last week, the plan for the and defensive coordinator Dan Quinn alongside Luke Rhodes Jersey veteran backup and a band of unusual suspects.It was a blueprint that worked masterfully, because while Armstrong logged more snaps (40) than did Parsons (39) -- the two being near-equal in playing time -- what Parsons was able to do swung the game in favor of the Cowboys. A former pa s rusher turned stand-up linebacker at Penn State, the after-practice teachings with Quinn and future Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence were put on full display at SoFi Stadium."After practice, Dan Quinn came up to me and was like, 'Man, we're going to need Taylor Stallworth Jersey you to step up big for us this week,'" Parsons told media after the gutsy victory in LA, per the team's website. "I just said 'Alright, Coach. Let's play.'"And play he did.Parsons finished with only two tackles, but (prior to one final NFL game on Monday night) finished tied for first in the league for most pre sures in Week 2 (8 total) and his 90.8 pa s rush grade was second-best among all defenders -- per PFF. But it wasn't simply that he landed one of the only two sacks on the 2020 Rookie of the Year, it's when he delivered it, finally getting home on Herbert with the Cowboys clinging to a narrow three-point lead on second-and-7 with just under six minutes remaining in regulation, and on the Cowboys seven-yard line. The 18-yard lo s ultimately forced the Chargers into a game-tying field goal that knotted things up at 17-17, keeping four additional points off of the Zaire Franklin Jersey scoreboard in the proce s, and kicking the door wide open for a game-winning drive by -- capped by a 56-yard boot from . Herbert takes a huge sack from Micah Parsons. The GIF Guy (@IHaveFourBalls) "A lot of it was natural," Parsons said. "Some people had a long day out there."It was a contest wherein many predicted All-Pro pa s rusher to have his way with backup right tackle , but it was Parsons stealing the show, and Bosa going home with a lo s and no sacks, no pre sures registered, and no quarterback hurries. When it came to putting hands on Herbert, all Parsons saw was red -- a bull in a blind rage keyed in on doing nothing more than putting his horns in the target."I Xavier Rhodes Jersey was chasing him all day," Parsons said. "I really wanted Herbert, so when I finally got to him I was happy about that." Needle s to say, the Cowboys were as well. His next test as a hybrid player will be to help reel in and the pa sing attack in Week 3, as the Cowboys. Only two games into his rookie season, Parsons is already a frontrunner for Rookie Defensive Player of the Year."My main mindset is to be dominant throughout the whole game," Parsons added. "Play at a high level, and every time I'm out there, make a play -- whether I'm rushing the quarterback or stuffing the run. That's what I want to do is be as dominant as po sible."Parsons wears No. 11, the same number he wore at Penn State.
