Micah Parsons calls out critics amid sack slump: 'I’ll hand it over and see how you do'

Dallas Cowboys star edge rusher Micah Parsons is fed up with his lackluster production over the last four games and, apparently, a little sick of hearing about it. In the last four games, Parsons has one sack.

The second-year star sounded off on Tuesday, pointing off that getting home to the quarterback isn’t as easy as some might seem to think — or as easy as he makes it look.

“I promise you, sacking the QB is not that easy, especially when they’re game-planning against it,” Parsons said, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. “…If anybody wants to take my job and step in my shoes, you’re more than welcome. I’ll hand it over and see how you do.”

After being on a sack-a-game pace through 12 weeks, Parsons has been stymied since. And while the Cowboys are 3-1 during his four-game production dip, Parsons evidently wants to get back to hitting and sacking quarterbacks. And certainly spend less time talking about his lack of production.

The Cowboys are reaping the benefits of signing veteran wideout T.Y. Hilton

Wide receiver T.Y. Hilton is proving to be a savvy pickup by the Dallas Cowboys after a single game (and a single catch). Discussing Hilton’s impact off of the stat sheet, Dallas head coach Mike McCarthy noted on Tuesday that the veteran is already playing, and will continue to play, a big role in helping younger players as they move into the playoffs.

“Definitely, that’s a big part of his reputation coming in here,” McCarthy said of the former Colt ingratiating himself with younger players on the team. “I think just like anything, you talk about talent, production, to win games and to be part of what we’re about to get into in playoff victories, it’s definitely the connection of guys that have been there. There’s going to be… our rookie class, this is a new experience for them.

“All those things are awesome. You love to see veterans paying it forward.”

The former Indianapolis receiver has more playoff experience than most on the Dallas roster. From 2012 to 2020, he played in nine playoff games. Over those nine games, he accumulated 47 catches for 781 yards and three touchdowns.
