Veteran analyst Colin Cowherd appeared to take a dig at Micah Parsons for his lack of impact since being traded to the Green Bay Packers in the offseason. On his "The Herd" show on Tuesday, Cowherd said that Parsons is a "great splash player," but not good against running plays.

When former NFL linebacker Emmanuel Acho caught wind of Cowherd's analysis on Parsons, he called out the analyst for "lying."

"Men lie. The tape doesn’t. Before you say @MicahhParsons11 is bad against the run, just turn on the tape. I watched every run play, It looks like this the whole game," Acho tweeted later on Tuesday, while adding a video reference to backup his analysis.

Acho shared a clip of Parsons against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11. Footage showed Parsons grappling with Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson before the Packers star adjusted his body to notice Philly running back Saquon Barkley on the charge, only to stop him in his tracks.

Acho also shared another play from the game in which Parsons managed to brush off a Philly tight end to stop a running play.

Parsons played four years with the Dallas Cowboys before being traded to Green Bay in the offseason. He signed a blockbuster four-year, $188 million deal with the Packers.
