In a recent interview, Parsons was asked “What went wrong with the run defense?” “We were just beating ourselves,” responded Parsons describing the team’s loss to the Cardinals last week in perfect words. Despite too many penalties, the team mainly lost due to poor run defense.
“Everything is getting fixed and we are looking forward to proving it this week”. It seems Parsons and the team have learned from the errors and want to fix them. They look forward to the upcoming game and prove to everyone that they are getting on track.
“Any excitement to tackle Zeke?” the media person asked. “He is just my dog, I know its like all love” “We just go out there and compete” Parsons, calling his former teammate “my dog,” shows respect between former teammates even when he is now an opponent.
