00:00 Coach Mike McCarthy had high praise for Micah Parsons saying that he actually is a great
00:05 example of their new phrase for the year which is "carpe omnia" sees everything.
00:12 Yeah.
00:12 What do you think it takes for Micah Parsons to win defensive player of the year this year?
00:16 You know he finishes second in in each of his last go rounds.
00:21 One thing that the voters and no disrespect to the voters,
00:25 our media brothers and sisters especially, we're looking at sack numbers.
00:30 We love sack numbers and he's already made it clear that that might not be
00:34 his number one goal this year.
00:35 Right and nor should it be.
00:37 Right.
00:37 But he's the guy that goes and gets 13 and a half sacks.
00:40 Sounds like he does want to score a touchdown this season too.
00:42 Well there is that.
00:43 Competitiveness is all the charge.
00:45 Micah wants to do everything for his team.
00:47 That and there's and for himself.
00:49 Yeah.
00:49 And there's your carpe omnia.
00:51 Yeah.
00:52 Personally 13 sacks, great.
00:56 If Micah Parsons gets 20 sacks he will win defensive player of the year.
01:00 Yeah.
01:00 If Micah Parsons gets 20 sacks and the Cowboys go 12 and 5 or whatever,
01:04 he will get votes for MVP.
01:08 And along the way, yes, he will also want to return punts which he does in practice.
01:12 He'll return a punt in practice.
01:14 Right.
01:14 I'm pointing right out there to practice.
01:17 He'll every once in a while he'll you know just in warming up,
01:20 dackle, throw him a pitch out and he'll play running back.
01:23 It is instructive to know that when he was six years old and all the way to high school,
01:29 he did play running back.
01:30 Yeah.
01:30 And was like unstoppable.
01:31 So I don't blame him for his visions of glory in the NFL.
01:37 McCarthy every once in a while, and it happened again this week,
01:39 gets asked what's the chance of giving him a carry at the goal line.
01:43 And it's an adorable idea.
01:45 Yeah.
01:46 Until somebody gets their eye poked out.
01:48 Yeah.
01:48 Maybe we should just let the running backs play.
01:50 Hey, why don't we have Tony Pollard play linebacker?
01:53 Wouldn't that be adorable?
01:54 Yeah.
01:54 I don't think it's a very good idea at all.
01:57 But I do think that Micah Parsons, who likes to remind people that his nickname as a little kid
02:01 was the water boy.
02:02 Yeah.
02:02 Because he like Bobby Boucher, you know that movie, right?
02:05 Because he didn't know what he was doing.
02:07 He just knew that whether he had the ball or didn't have the ball, he wanted to hit somebody.
02:10 He's going to want to hit somebody in New York against the Giants when Lawrence Taylor
02:14 will certainly have his eyes on this game.
02:16 Yeah.
