Before facing the New England Patriots next week, the two-time Pro Bowler Micah Parsons believes that if the Cowboys’ defense doesn’t change, they’ll never improve. He aims to bounce back after the loss to the Cardinals and expressed frustration when the team fell short of expectations.

During a press conference, Parsons responded to doubts with humility and expressed eagerness to play against the Patriots. He felt that the Cowboys were defeating themselves last week and openly discussed it with the reporters.

Micah Parsons & Co. are taking a good look in the mirror

The star defender for Dallas is truly frustrated with the inconsistent performance and emphasizes that they’re not meeting their own standards of being a great defense. Parsons told the media, “It’s super frustrating, especially when you look at the tape.”

Parsons has identified what went wrong against the Cardinals and stressed the importance of self-reflection and making changes to improve. He said, “You got to look yourself in the mirror and say, ‘I got to be better in this phase, I got to do this in this phase,’ and you gotta go out there and change.”

Later, in response to another question, Parsons stated, “Last week just wasn’t perfect.” His message was clear: to improve as individuals and as a team, changes must be implemented.
