I'd agree with this but sitting Joseph for Ford doesn't make sense if that's the plan.

 

We don't know the details.  Maybe Joseph tweaked something during warmups, or he is feeling ill.

 

Something for the press to ask after the game.  They won't, but they should.

[Low Positive]

I think McDermott might want the opening night starting DL to take the field for this one.

[boater]

Von Miller and Russell Wilson are having a pot luck and watching the Sunday games together.

 

Think of all the GM regret, and tied up cap space in that room.

[CSBill]

Maybe next year, Von. But it's time to sit and heal now.

Too lazy to pull the old post BUT I love me some Kingsley Jonathan instead of Von, Just saying. . . .

Good Lord, that took forever. I thought Sean learned his lesson from Peterman?  I guess not...

Why?

Great team management by coach McD. Never afraid to make the call, no matter who it affects.

You'd have to think that meant Daquan is really up and going for that to happen, but still I thought he was the better player than Poona unless I'm missing something, don't know why we wouldn't want both of them playing.

Yeah, I don’t get that either.

[GunnerBill]

Wow. Slightly surprised they are going with Kingsley Jonathan in that timeshare with Shaq as DE4. He does give you a bit on special teams though, so maybe that is the thinking too. 

 

Brave call. I expeceted them to play it slightly more conservatively and to be honest think I would have done.

"Learned his lesson"....as he wins 4 of his last 5 with Von in there. Von wasn't costing them games like a Peterman. This is matchup oriented.

Could be a veteran rest thing🤔 

He has been on veteran rest every single game he has played in.  If you call his performances on the field this year anything but coasting then I don't know what to tell you.   The votes are in!!!

Same sentiment if you would have to pay $6 to watch? 🤔

 

Yup but not $7

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Good decision. They don't need him this week. Give him two weeks to stay fresh and maybe make an impact next week.

Past time.  Put him on IR and cut this offseason.

[wppete]

I’m surprised it took them this long to this . Hope Kinsley Jonathan has a career game today. He is a much better player right now. 

[Nephilim17]

What's the post-June cap savings/dead it if we cut Von then?

[BigAl2526]

I noticed Von Miller didn't practice on Friday.  I think the decision to sit him was made early in the week.

I actually wasn't referring to Von probably should have been more clear

You have to play your best players and there are guys playing better.

 

Not sure if Von will ever be Von again, but you have to look at how he is doing game to game and it just is not there.
