Von Miller

[BillsFanForever19]

I don't think he's washed. He was playing at an extremely high level before the injury. And there has been small visual improvements over the past couple weeks. 

 

Yes, he missed the tackle. But before that, he wouldn't have even been in position to do so. He's also gotten some pressures leading to others getting there which he hadn't been doing. Returning from an ACL on Defense is rough, as we saw with Tre last season. And I feel like we're seeing small improvements in his game quicker there than we were with Tre.

 

The issue is just getting back to full health and getting in the groove. I don't know what the answer is there because you don't want to give him too many reps before he's 100%, but on limited reps - it's difficult to get into a groove as a Pass Rusher.

 

He's had a total of 104 snaps over 5 games. That's really not much. Hopefully as they ramp him up, he'll get more comfortable and play better. It seems they've been saving him for the playoffs, but that's far from a given right now.

What was worse was he was in there for run downs. 2nd and 6...2nd and 7....terrible McD moves.

Cut his ass with McDermott and Dorsey

And yet absolutely positively all of the available evidence suggests very much otherwise.

He looks to me like hes just going through the motions.   Nice to see him add a solo tackle, omg we are screwed.  Maybe Beane can restructure again and we can have him for 5 years.

Why did they take him off IR? He’s clearly not recovered and ready. Should have shut him down and tried again next year.

Unfortunately I agree.

 

There were points during the game where he was being handled by a tight end.

 

Every time he is on the field is a snap that is taken away from a player that has the potential to get to the QB.

All the Bills problems started when Von Miller got here.

Von is a situational pass rusher at this point.  A well-paid one.

[Gunsgoodtime]

Von Miller-  to this date, the most horrendous signing Beane has made.  And that's saying quite a bit considering Knox, Star, Olivet , etc, along with many other old defensive names

[DuckyBoys]

He cant bend around the edge and has lost ton of speed and power  Pass rushers dont typically play into their mid 30's especially coming off multiple leg injuries  Beane really gambled with long odds on this signing

He shouldn't be in there at all.  He looks like 30%.  Deactivate him for a month because he's a shell of who he once was. We'll be lucky if we get one full healthy season next year before they release him.

Stats this game?

[NoName]

Still zero sacks. Still 30+ million per.

what part of “he had a tackle” didn’t you understand?!?

[Dr.Sack]

Von Miller is clearly not 100% but he came close to making some sacks on the very mobile Russell Wilson, along with Floyd and Rousseau. It’s hard to bring down a 5’10” guy who hides behind the OL.

If by situational you mean “should never see the field”, I agree.
