Anyone else remember before last season when a LOT of people here were screaming about us needing to sign Jones....then we ended up with Von? Could you imagine this meltdown hitting right now had the Bills gone the Jones route instead? I get that but that logic is flawed because you don't know how Jones would have worked out in Buffalo. Totally different situation. Secondly, the Von pick up hasn't produced much fruit due to his injury. So far the pick up of Von and the risks associated with it make the deal look less than favorable at the moment. Hopefully Von comes back and is healthy and can stay healthy. He will make everyone on the Dline better. He's a game changer and that's a great thing. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think this is exactly true Whenever you take a look at the amount of sacks of the bills were putting up whenever Von Miller was healthy and how it affected the rest of the Defense. I do believe we were one of the highest rated teams for sacks in the league while he was playing. Yes, he did get hurt. It’s a gamble with a player of his age but it’s a gamble that was worth taking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked that Beane went out and get a game changer. I'm not going to pretend like I didn't like the pick up. It was a calculated gamble. Hard to know what kind of Von the Bills get when he returns. Hard to predict injuries. I think what's known is he makes the Bills defense much better. Come playoff time, a healthy Von certainly gives the Bills s better chance to go further. I will be disappointed if he's not available come playoff time. I think he's that important to the D. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIT BY SPIKES Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Tailgating at my desk.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Before I say this, I’m acknowledging that we probably won’t do it. Today is the day to stop this constant Nickel BS. Look I like Tarron Johnson. The guy is good at what he does. You want him on every 3rd down? Fine….we have 3 fast cover LBs. The reason every physical team dominates us is because we NEVER come off of Nickel. Put 3 LBs on the field against this team. 58/43/42. All of those guys can run and all of these guys can cover. We will lose almost noting in coverage and also gain so much against the run. These LBs give us a unique advantage whereas we almost don’t need a NB. These guys are all capable of covering at a high level. We should be the team in the league that plays the least Nickel, not the most. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being in pass defense as an everydown defense is why. This is not the team to mess around with run wise. They are going to line up and run it, with a FB until we should we can stop it and tackle. And you absolutely don’t want to get back on skates getting run over then let Adams get open behind it on play action. Put 3 LBs on the field and stop the run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
