Micah Parsons has raised eyebrows by claiming that the New York Giants' defensive line is superior to that of the Philadelphia Eagles, stating that Dexter Lawrence is the best defensive tackle in football after a strong performance last season. Parsons noted Lawrence's impressive nine sacks in the first nine weeks and expressed confidence in the Giants' line despite the Eagles' strong roster. He did, however, acknowledge the prowess of his own Dallas Cowboys' defensive line.

Darius Slay, a former Eagles cornerback, pushed back on Parsons' assertion, asserting loyalty to his former team. Parsons also discussed the Cowboys' recent draft picks aimed at bolstering their defense against players like Jalen Carter. Both Parsons and Slay expressed concern regarding Nakobe Dean's injury, hinting that it impacts the Eagles' linebacker depth.
