Micah Parsons Acknowledges Challenges of Third Defensive Coordinator Change

The Dallas Cowboys are entering the 2024 NFL season with a new coaching staff, led by head coach Brian Schottenheimer and defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, marking the third defensive coordinator for star linebacker Micah Parsons in just as many years. Despite the challenges of adapting to a new system, Parsons has expressed a professional attitude about the changes, acknowledging that learning a new scheme is part of being a pro. He has managed to maintain his high level of performance, finishing with 12 sacks in 2024 despite missing four games. Parsons, who has established himself as one of the league's elite defenders, emphasized the need for the team to bolster its defense through free agency to pursue a championship. His impressive early career has placed him among the few NFL players to record at least 10 sacks in each of their first four seasons. The Cowboys hope that Eberflus can effectively utilize Parsons' versatile skills to enhance their defensive strategy.
