Don't look now...Von looked somewhat Von like...

 Without Von Eddy ain't Eddy this year.

 Oliver was having a year before Von came back. Give that guy some credit.

There was some burst....a couple power moves.  If he's even 80 percent and aj and DQ come back look the ***** out

Any production from Von is a plus at this point. Most people all but wrote him off here. This is perfect timing for him to get back into form though.

He is improving incrementally, but he is improving.

 

Hopefully, that continues to trend the right way. And did I hear that there is a real possibility that Da'Quan Jones might return by the season's end? If so, oh boy!

This is it. I've read every reply here. Too many say too much. Too few say too little. If he was a rookie or anyone else but VM we would be holding him back on expectations because of the injury and the small improvements he is making. He is showing to be a depth player and that's fine but too expensive.

Looked a lot better since the brace has been off. 

[VW82]

He's still arguably our worst DL rotation guy. Fingers crossed though that he keeps improving.

He’s worth having out there just for the attention he draws

He had one good rush last week, and maybe 1 this week. He can't bend anymore. Just watch him pre-injury and now. It's like he's carrying a 30 pound weight on his back...

 

I tend to agree with this. He simply does not have the bend. Without that he is easily moved up and around the QB. He has some power but still not enough for true bull rushes. Maybe we get into playoffs and he gets those one or two sacks to get us to the promised land. But it's likely just wishful thinking 

 

I noticed him (because he is so bad - I cringe every time I see him on the field) several times where he could not set the edge, got pushed way up field, allowing Dak to run to his side. Also bull rush attempts that were stymied by the tackle. He is just not good enough yet.

I agree. I'm afraid his recovery to 100% will be excruciatingly slow like Tre.  Hope he can find another gear for the playoffs. And I too would like to see Kingsley get some snaps?

Honestly this has been his most valuable contribution. Teams still fear his possible impact and thus play him like he’s prime Von instead of the facsimile of a unguided rocket going 10/15 yds behind the line of scrimmage

Stefon Diggs has as many tackles as Von this season . Gabe Davis has more tackles than Von.  Von ain’t back yet. Von has one more tackle than Tyler Bass.

He played great in LA last year, so would love to see a repeat. 

Last year we played the Rams, this year it's the Chargers.

 

You're looking for some kind of regional influence?

[EmotionallyUnstable]

I’m pretty confident most of the “he’s looking better, coming along, steadily inproving” perspective are almost entirely a result of the nature of yesterday’s win. 
 

If they hung 30 on us, does this still hold up? What if we had lost? 
 

I’m not sure what some of you all are seeing, but I’m still waiting for him to be the difference maker we wanted when we signed him. I’d be very curious to see if anyone has any substance via film to substantiate he’s looked measurably improved. 
 

It might be a whole nother year until he offers anything meaningful, if ever. 
 

Patience, but trying to be realistic about his age, injury and performance thus far. 

[billsfan714]

He once again didn't register a statistic.   How low are we setting the bar?

Well, if you're just looking for the final outcomes, then you're going to miss the steps required to get there.

 

Was gonna make a you gotta make sure to be emotionally available and supportive type joke here, but it didn't come together

During any of the sacks that they gave Dak it seemed as though Von was always right there within i arms reach of being in on the sack which is good . If he could be (like some here have said) 80% is better than some at 100% & coming into this time of the season his input could be welcome . 

[wjag]

I think I saw he was in for 24 plays.   Hard to really get going when you aren't seeing the field.

WTF? What game you guys watching? Von was double teamed on 50% OF HIS RUSHES. That's a GOOD thing! He had 2 QB hits. He contains his side on every play. That's his job right now and he is doing it to perfection. His sacks will come as he get's stronger but for now, as McD said, Von is there to contavin and take double coverage away from the interior. Without Von Eddy ain't Eddy this year.

On top of that, Von is right on schedule on his recovery, some here can’t grasp this concept…,
