Cowboys safeties have NSFW reaction to Madden ratings release
By Adam Weinrib
The Dallas Cowboys will bring an explosive offense, takeaway-driven defense, and patented bull-rushing Swiss Army knife in Micah Parsons to the field in 2022, but as always, they’ve still got some Madden sore spots. And they’re directly begging you not to care. Yes, you.
Somehow, Parsons himself was among the Madden casualties. The electric edge rusher/linebacker hybrid only garnered himself an 88, which places him 14th among all NFL linebackers.
We get it. It’s frustrating to be waiting all year for a video game, get all excited to play with your favorite team (with a new, elite weapon in Parsons) and end up unable to fulfill your full destiny. However, there’s zero reason to concern any of the actual Cowboys with your troubles, as they’re all getting ready for training camp.
Following the release of this year’s Madden ratings (and said ratings immediately becoming the most dominant topic on Twitter, Cowboys safety Malik Hooker reacted. Jayron Kearse then quote tweeted Hooker’s message with a more NSFW addition, confirming that Dallas’ defensive backfield is focused on more important things right now.

Cowboys safeties don’t care about Madden ratings — yes, even Micah Parsons’
If that doesn’t convince you to concern yourself with bigger and better things, we’re not sure what to tell you.
There are plenty of other headlines to fret over as August approaches. Can Jalen Tolbert make a big enough splash as a rookie to help keep Dallas’ offense ahead of Philadelphia’s? Will CeeDee Lamb emerge as a true No. 1? Will Trevon Diggs’ Year 3 be just as impressive as his takeaway-filled 2021? How will Parsons level up his game? Will he get to show off all his favorite tricks in Dan Quinn’s scheme? Will James Washington get resurrected?
Hell, even the Cowboys’ kicker battle is more exciting than some digital trackers falling below expectations.
Mike McCarthy has plenty to prove with Sean Payton lurking. This Dallas season will be replete with storylines. Madden Ratings will not be one of them. Listen to Kearse and Hooker. Move along.
