Part 7/10:
The Role of Disruption and Game Impact
JB emphasizes that disruptive players like Aaron Donald or Chris Jones are game-changers because of their ability to collapse the pocket from the interior, something Parsons rarely does. He notes that Parsons’s limited impact in playoffs further diminishes his value, pointing out that his impact has been mostly in sack numbers rather than game-winning plays.
He critiques the narrative that Parsons’s sack stats equate to Super Bowl success, arguing that elite, disruptive players in the middle of the line have historically been more influential.
