Solomon Grundy Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) Can't wait for Von to show up to camp wearing his newly acquired Super Bowl ring, showing it off to his new teammates and telling them "now let's go get you one" Edited July 22, 2022 by Solomon Grundy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand Edmunds wanting to tell him both monikers he goes by as well. He didn’t want it to be weird if Von heard people calling him something else. Either way I get your point and I felt Von also wanted the young man to make a decision cause Tremaine sounded wishy washy. I also thought it was a weird exchange to include in editing but no big deal in the grand scheme. Definitely no big deal, but it was weird. Maine didn't like being put on the spot and didn't know how to handle it. From the outside, it was pretty obvious that Von was just trying to figure out what to call everyone, just like he was trying to learn a specialized handshake with someone else. I hate to judge the guy on one exchange, but Maine didn't seem to have the personality of a leader in that exchange. He should be working to welcome Miller, not walking away when the guy is talking to him. Imagine McKenzie when Miller asks him. "Well, my momma calls me Isaiah, but you can call me L'il Dirty." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think one of the great things about him is he doesn't fake a macho persona in order to lead or generate respect. He is the kid that plays board games but is just really good at sports and he owns it. Agree ….. but he’s also the guy you know will have your back , fearlessly, if your in a back alley brawl. He doesn’t have to fake it because he exudes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny that I saw it as TE being the "voice" of the D (wearing the green dot helmet) that Von was making him be decisive. I'm going to hope that one of the "jobs" Von is tasked with this year is to get "Maine" to be decisive. Maybe that's why it made it through editing? LOL.

I've never lived among a lot of intense competitors like these guys are, and I can't I've ever experienced something like what you describe - a veteran goading a younger guy to stand up. I don't know if that's what was going on there, but that's an interesting take. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunTheBall Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 You guys are reading way too much into one exchange in an off season promo Need to start training camp ASAP and we should be 5 minutes in as of now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Y'all are going to love this one. He said this to Peter King yesterday: Miller went to the Rams’ Super Bowl ring ceremony last week in California. “So hard to let go of L.A.,” he said. “So hard to let go of Coach McVay, [GM] Les Snead and especially Aaron Donald, man. Every time I think about it, man, I get sad thinking about not playing with them anymore.” https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/07/25/nfl-training-camp-tour-peter-king-fmia-bills-raiders/?cid=fmiatw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teef Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 i'm sure it is hard to leave after a super bowl winning season, yet here he is. time to get to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 As long as he plays up to his contract I really don't care. If he whines in the media like he's done all off-season about how he misses LA or he chose to take the money, etc and doesn't perform then we have a problem. If he performs then it's something I'm sure the fanbase can put up with. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I don't see anything wrong with his comments. Seems kinda honest to me 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg S Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 At least he is honest which is refreshing since most times you get a BS answer. Von will be judged by how he plays here especially in the playoffs. Beane got him here as a "final piece" type of move. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as if you or I took a job position away from friends and family. We’d have made a personal choice to advance a career, but would still miss those cherished people who we can’t get together with on a daily basis. I suspect Miller will some time in the future express missing his current colleagues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 9 Isles Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 He has been yapping about his love for LA since he arrived in Buffalo. Kind of annoying to be honest. 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg S Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) Just wait until the home opener. Primetime game against a team we need payback from last year's game. The atmosphere will be insane. Von will love it. Probably remind him of his Denver days where the Broncos also have a strong homefield advantage. That was something he didn't have last year in LA.

I'll judge Von Miller about what he brings to the Bills during this phase of career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Blitz Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 He could have stayed with the Rams if he loved them so much - none of this is new. Annoying but not new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
