00:00When it comes to special people on a football field, Micah Parsons is that guy, and I know
00:20you've seen a lot of different defensive players, but it seems like him, I'm not trying to say
00:25anything about the other guys on the field, but man, when he is on the field, it totally
00:30changes your defense.
00:32I know you've had Demarcus Ware and Charles Haley and Demarcus Lawrence, but he seems
00:37to make such a huge difference for the other guys on the field and turns your defense into
00:43a quality defense.
00:45Absolutely, and certainly not having him there for four or five games stretch, and then having
00:54him back, you see the type of impact that he has.
00:59You sprinkle in a guy like Demarvian Overshown, who's just got some rare ability himself in
01:08terms of his play style, his speed, what he brings to the table, and you see how guys
01:15like that, you get a few more guys back like Adilaw, this defense changes from a defense
01:23that has had challenges all year to one that gives the other teams some tough looks and
01:30some challenging things to look at.
01:32We all know injuries are part of our game, people around the league have them, but it
01:38does make, unfortunately, it does make a difference when you're missing some of your top players.
01:45We're not the only team who had to battle that, but it can make a difference in the
01:50type of team that you're able to put out there when you're missing some of these guys.
01:55But Micah's certainly special, he's got rare explosiveness, rare speed, and you know that
02:02quarterback's always got his eye on where 11's lining up when he's getting ready to
02:09snap the ball.
