Von Miller proves the doubters wrong

You put him out there for sure.  It's the SAME reason they put out Cooper right away.

 

He's a distraction and opens up other guys.  You play him.

If he is healthy you play him. You are paying him play him. If he isnt ready or doesnt produce then he can sit. But I dont think not dressing him is a good idea. I think a better idea is making Tua know he is there.

Von will play this week no doubt. He will get at least 1 sack. Dude is pumped and ready to play!

 

 

Agreed and obviously I am jazzed by the fact of him technically being a healthy scratch these last 4 weeks so he comes back fully ready, but I would still limit his snaps.  At home, against Miami is a good game for him to get reacclimated to the way he digs and drives to the QB.

I agree he will play... sack... Tua is clearly getting rid of the ball so quick to avoid contact I am not sure anyone gets to him.... however, get up significantly and force him to let routes develop and I think you are in business.

Im predicting 3 sacks from Von vs Mia.

 

Babich should tell Miller that Tua is pregnant with his baby and does NOT want to travel on his birthday---and just slammed the door in his face.

Yeah, it’s never not too soon for this.

Well, I think the rules are that he cannot be at Bills (or any NFL team) facility until this Monday. That's very different from Cooper who basically changed NFL facility from Cleveland to Buffalo. Von's body has not been subject to any hits --- including practice hits -- for 30+ days. I think it takes some ramp up to, from the number of hits and severity of hits perspective. Padded practice hits is surely a start. 

 

I, for one, am still holding out hope that he CAN be that closer on defense we need in playoffs. He has been in his career before, consistently, I may add. Besides him, which current Bills defender may do that -- which we need for a serious playoff run? Maybe Rousseau? Big maybe. Von probably won't perform like he used to, but we just need a few flash plays at critical moments, and that's exactly people of his caliber knows how to do in those moments.

Where is your Josh for MVP thread?  Trying a different tact this year?

Von just said at his presser that he was in the building before his suspension was over. Is that even allowed?  I don’t want to lose a draft pick.

Yes, the rules were posted in another thread. He and any other player is allowed back midway through their suspension.

Von is on pace for 2 more sacks than Rousseau despite playing 4 less games and a lot less snaps.   

 

Those are stats. Look at what Rousseau is doing. One of Von's sacks was him tagging a guy who already fell.
