Jerry Jabber Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 When the Bills drafted Dareus at #3, Dareus told Roger Goodell that he was gonna make Carolina & Denver pay for passing on him. Even though it's only preseason & Dareus looked good against the Bears, I'm looking forward to seeing how he'll look this weekend since he'll be motivated to destroy the Broncos.

Yeah I think he will as well. I try not to be too excited about this guy but some things I saw against the Bears you just can't ignore. Plays like he has been in the league for years and he will probably only get better. I mean he was ripping through double teams like nothing and has some good aggressive moves to break the double team. I'm glad both teams passed on him. How has Miller looked?

Astrobot Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 The Broncos game will be a better gauge of where he is. Beadles, JD Walton and Kuper are going to have to double somebody, and Kyle Williams, Danny Batten, and Merriman ought to profit the most with multiple sacks.

Nothing noteworthy on Miller.....Bronc's didn't play him for more than a series or so. Too early to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Nothing noteworthy on Miller.....Bronc's didn't play him for more than a series or so. Too early to tell. With Dumervil back and commanding attention, I've got to think Miller is in a position to excel off the bat. Could be like Woodley and Harrison in Pittsburgh.

PromoTheRobot Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Dareus would be better served saving it for the regular season. Don't get hurt making a meaningless play. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills!Win! Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Dareus has a chip on his shoulder like Thurman did back on the day. I guess these players place a lot of importance on where/when they get drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that he looks great, and I have the highest expectations for him, but I didn't see him double-teamed by Chicago. I saw most of the double-teaming going against Williams.

You basically have to double Williams and Dareus, and put a RB/TE to help on Merriman. And we havent even talked about who is blocking Edwards/Kelsay/Carrington. Too much to block!

John from Riverside Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I was ghosting through the main broncos message board after their game with Dallas..... They werent to happy.....one of the posters did a play by play of when Miller was in the game.....upset that he was getting handled by the first round pick of Dallas (an o linemen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know Dr., I've done the same pairings that you have here and came away with a wary pre-giddyness. The ressurection of Merriman and the seeming coming to age of Carrington could be a nightmare for opposing teams. But some of that hope dimmed a bit after Chicago ran the ball down our throats for their TD. Most of our A team was in and I'm hoping it wasn't the true measure of where we are. Really looking forward to the Denver game to see this front 7 in action. I'm doing my best not to get my hopes up, but you know how that goes......

Clippers of Nfl Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I agree that he looks great, and I have the highest expectations for him, but I didn't see him double-teamed by Chicago. I saw most of the double-teaming going against Williams. He did. For how many plays, I dont remember. But he was double teamed. 100% sure about that. A strategic and planned double team, not a random help me double team. Trust me, I dvrd it. He dropped the qb on one of those double teamed plays also.

C.Biscuit97 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Denver passing on Dareus for Miller is one of the best things to happen to this franchise. Your LBs are worthless if your d line, especially the middle sucks. Denver completely changed the outlook for this team and defense for the next 10 or so years.

Green Lightning Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Vonn Miller reminded me of Maybin and I lived in fear we'd take him. I could be very wrong about him but I'm stoked having Dareus on our line. If Merriman holds up we just got the best of both worlds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Dareus has a chip on his shoulder like Thurman did back on the day. I guess these players place a lot of importance on where/when they get drafted. Come on!--he's hyping us, which is fine. He knew Carolina wasn't going to pick him. If he plays well, great. But it won't be because he is playing a preseason game against a team he knew wasn't in the market for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoretalk Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 He is going to be in for a few series ... this is not a regular season game ... he will work on getting better and yes, he will probably do something that makes Bronco fans regretting picking Miller. I am sooooo glad Miller was not an option for the Bills, all too many members of this board wanted him but we have the best of the first three picks in a Bills' uniform!

If Dareus ends up being good, there is no chance the Bills will be able to keep him. We have until the end of his rookie contract, that's it.
