For Washington Commanders' head coach Dan Quinn, he will get to see Micah Parsons for the first time as a Green Bay Packer at Lambeau Field as his team kicks off Week 2.
With Quinn being in Dallas with Parsons as his defensive coordinator previously, it is fair to say that Quinn knows Micah inside and out, which might give him a little leg up on game planning against him.
Still, we know with Parsons, knowing how to stop him and actually stopping him are two different things entirely.
But when asked how he would try to alter how effective Parsons is, Dan offered quite a light-hearted comment.
"Are you asking what would I do if I were coaching him? I'd sit him this week," a smiling Quinn said. "Yeah, short week."

This could very well be an NFC Championship preview, and the Commanders are going to have to show they deserve to be at the big boy table.
Coming to Lambeau is a daunting prospect, but one thing we know about Jayden Daniels and Co. is that not much worries them.
Having taken the league by storm last year, finishing with a 12-5 record and an NFC Championship appearance, many expect Washington to take another leap. And that means beating teams like Green Bay.
Of course, Parsons will play a role here at some point, but the Commanders' offense is going to have to keep pace with Jordan Love and the Packers.
Washington has the weapons; now it's time to show last year wasn't a fluke.
And no, Parsons won't be sitting this one out, Dan.
