balln Posted September 13 Posted September 13 2 hours ago, Ray Stonada said: I don't get why people are so down on Von. The guy played great for us in 2022, tore his ACL, took an absolutely normal amount of time to come back fully. He even gave money back after his knee didn't cooperate last year. Now he looks good again. This is something to be happy about, no? I think most are down on the fact that the swing for the fences move didn’t work out (although it did pre injury- he closed that chiefs game ) and of course he gets a horrific injury. Bc you. Know.

I mean sure, has a value, but its a bit capped. Tonight he was beating people and looked explosive. In fairness Austin Jackson stinks, but even so. The speed rush that got him the sack looked great. And the spin move the replayed, though it didn't quite get home, was an absolute thing of beauty and forced a rushed throw. 2 Quote
Success Posted September 13 Posted September 13 Von looking like Von from 5 years ago is extremely encouraging. He looked absolutely sprightly out there. 1 2 Quote
GunnerBill Posted September 13 Posted September 13 9 minutes ago, balln said: Two things on that 1) they were dealing w a hyper mobile qb / so to some degree wanted to keep in pocket / collapse it 2) I said during GDT. He will look good / has gained a half step in speed again - and we’ll see production vs the tuas / rogers I think there is some truth to that. But I also think it was right from the snap he looked faster. Reactions and all. 3 1 Quote

DapperCam Posted September 13 Posted September 13 With all those incentives in his reworked deal it's like he's a salesman working on commission. Gotta close the deal to get the $$$. Quote

Motorin' Posted September 13 Posted September 13 (edited) 1 hour ago, Beck Water said: I came here to share this I think his speed is back. There was at least one play where he won to the outside, but hesitated to put his leg in the ground and force himself back upfield to the QB. And it made me wonder if that was simply a mental barrier, of still needing to build back trust in his knee? We shall see, because if his physical traits are back and he just needs reps to regain his confidence, that bodes well for him this year. Edited September 13 by Motorin' Quote

Bruffalo Posted September 13 Posted September 13 Advanced stats on him are no joke. He's looked dominant, the only caveat is that his snap count is low. I don't know if they'll ramp up his snap count as the season goes on, but it's incredibly encouraging to see Von perform at a high level again. 1 Quote

notpolian Posted September 13 Posted September 13 I was as big a Von pessimist as anyone since his injury. He obviously should not have been out there last season. However last night what he did was very encouraging. I say keep his snap count low. Just use him on fairly obvious passing downs. If he can do the fast twitch stuff he is a real asset. Then later in the year or hopefully the playoffs use him as much as needed. 1 2 Quote
Airseven Posted September 13 Posted September 13 Well we are moving in the right direction, that's for sure. Cautiously optimistic. Quote

Not sure if that’s necessarily the case anymore. According to spotrac it is, but I thought that the pay cut he took this season allowed us to get out after this season Quote
