Yes. When he's on the field he's clearly making an impact. Obviously. You're being stubborn if you don't think so.

 

He played 14 snaps against the Jets. In those 14 snaps he had a sack, a QB hit, and one TFL between his 2 tackles.

 

Against Kansas City in the biggest game of the season he did the exact same thing.

 

He's played 35% of snaps this season and in the snaps he's actually on the field you can feel his impact in almost every game he's played.

 

He's obviously not living up to his Contract and isn't Prime Von Miller, but he's MUCH more impactful than you insisted he would be in the offseason.

After his sack he was breathing heavily for several minutes on the bench. Not a good sign.  

 

At this point, I consider him a powerplay specialist.  Imagine a forward that only played 5-6 minutes a night, but was on the first line powerplay unit.  His total stat numbers will never compare to your best first liners.  He is not out there enough so the total stats will look bad and the contract will look bad, but a guy that scores on the powerplay can win you a playoff series.

 

If we win the Superbowl and Von has 3 sacks and a bunch of pressures in the playoffs while playing 15 snaps a game...he'll be a great signing.

Absolutely but I don’t see anything that suggests that is going to happen. If so it’s an amazing signing!!!

I agree. Knock Mahomes on his butt once or twice on the way to a win in the AFC championship game - that's why Beane signed him. The plan was knock Mahomes on his butt year after year, but the knee injury took him out for the first two seasons of what was essentially a three-year deal. Third time's the charm, and all that.

Nice sack by Von Sunday. I hope he's been holding back what's coming in the playoffs. Be a difference maker there. That's why we signed him.

I'd really like to see some 3rd downs where AJ is on one side and we stack Von behind/next to Rousseau on the other

I see that as a serious concern for opposing OL's
