Micah Parsons addressed the media about the recent game, asserting that the issue wasn’t with the defensive scheme.

According to Parsons, as reported by Patrik Walker of Dallas Cowboys.com, he felt that while the game plan by Zim was solid, the team simply got outperformed.

He admitted that not everyone on the field gave their full effort, emphasizing the need for better performance across the board.

Parsons stressed the importance of focusing on the small details and executing them correctly, explaining that attention to these aspects is crucial in games like this.

He noted that the team struggled with tackling, often resorting to ineffective arm tackles and needing to be more aggressive.

Following the loss, Parsons responded to criticism from the Cowboys fan page ‘Blogging The Boys’ on  The page had suggested that allowing the opponent to score on every possession was a questionable strategy choice by Mike Zimmer.

Parsons quickly countered, stating, “S**t ain’t have nothing to do with Zim but everything on us!! Zim ain’t the one playing!”

His reaction underscored his belief that the responsibility lay with the players rather than the coaching strategy.

The Cowboys’ defeat was especially demoralizing as they matched a team record by conceding 35 points in the first half.

They struggled to contain the Saints’ passing game, including a notable 70-yard touchdown pass from Derek Carr to Rashid Shaheed and a 57-yard touchdown throw to Alvin Kamara.

From the outset, the game went poorly for the Cowboys; the Saints’ opening drive covered 80 yards and ended with a 21-yard touchdown run by Kamara.

The Saints continued to dominate, reaching the Dallas red zone on every offensive possession until the early fourth quarter.
