Micah Parsons is demanding more respect for the 49ers' DE after his Week 1 performance https://t.co/KhJodV9Ekl

— 49ers on NBCS (@NBCS49ers) September 12, 2023

Parsons playing mind games with us, he wants everyone to hype up the 49ers so we come in overconfident in the NFC championship vs them.

NFCCGM - IF they can make it pass the Lions !!

I see us playing the Lions for that NFC Crown !!

WOOOOOO GO NINERSSSS !!!

Will play Dallas in the NFCCG. Will BEAT Miami Dolphins in the Super Bowl. Book it!

I don't want Miami in the SB because it'll give Mcdaniels a chance at redemption. Plus tyreek a menace.

Tua and those SPEED DEMONS all be scary !!

He got those sacks off pure speed and finishing ability.

A lot of guys get close but usually can't finish. Brooks was good at not letting the QB juke and outrun him. Similar to Jackson this last game getting just enough in space to finish.

correct.. ONLY, that Brooks was an OLB under Fangio.. he was really the best GEM found by Samurai Mike...

then stupid Baalke had to treat Aldrunk Smith like a baby.. Instead of making him share playing time w/Aaron Slob Lynch, Brooks had to share his.. for some reason, Brooks really never got the respect he deserved ... Brooks, 52 and 53 shoulda been ALL WORLD..

I remember Brooks for always getting penalized on those roughing the passer penalties.

Having said that, yeah, Drake does remind me a bit of Brooks, and also reminds me a bit of Dwaine Board. I think Drake can get stronger and get better with his hand fighting and pass rushing techniques. He's just a 2nd year player and probably won't hit his physical peak in another year or two, and he should be at the top of his game at round 25+ years old. He can get much better, much stronger, for sure. I can see 8+ sacks, I don't see anything past 10 sacks, but then again, with that DLine, WOW! Anything can happen.

wow Geidi.. never knew you were around the days of w/Dwain Board - Manu - Fred Dean ... I will not be surprise if Drake becomes this team's sack leader of all time ONLY if he can stay healthy and by thinking straight.. we need a good veteran player to take him under his wings because this kid is very talented.

Heh, I"m an old fart.

But yeah, agree, if Drake becomes another Bosa 2.0 -- heck YEAH! I'm all for it!

The stunt sack was nice, he showed his speed and explosiveness on that one. I thought the other two were more on coverage and Pickett, but good pursuit regardless. Jackson will benefit a lot playing on passing downs next to Bosa-Armstead-Hargrave. I saw some interesting double team numbers that bear this out. Jackson will get a ton of one on ones on the edge next to those guys and he will need to take advantage.

NOT SURE how young you are, but I remember Bruce Smith coming out of VaTech and he was pretty similar to Drake (skill wise) ...

well, aside the fact that Bruce Smith couldn't do all that Drake' flippin and thumblin... but even as a rookie, Bruce just separated himself because he acted matured.. time are different now, but again, someone must take Drake under his wings because this kid could be special.

Jackson sometimes reminds me of Simeon Rice. Still getting refined on his hands, but I could see him eventually being that kind of guy.

Big 🐍 Drake

Great hustle play today chasing down that dump off. This guy is very good

I see him hustle and make plays when hes on the field. Wonder why he isn't getting most of the snaps.

the way rams were playing they needed to rotate their players

He only plays limited snaps. Ferrell and Hyser rotate in with him. I do remember that good hustle play
