BillMafia716ix Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I’m not counting on anything from Von until next year. I still don’t think he’s fully confident in his knee. He’s still wearing a knee brace. Only move he has right now is the straight ahead speed rush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills!Win! Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 This will be a good preview of what the Super Bowl would look like if we actually made it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedboy7 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) Von has 2 tackles for the season. Gabe and Mitch have 3. Pulling for Von but I dont see any reason for him to be out there.

Unfortunately this may go down as one of the worst FA signings amd contracts beane does. I hope I'm wrong. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeAndy Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Obviously it comes down to how he physically feels after the season, but I wonder if he retires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Since1981 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) NFL is a game of attrition at this point. Never thought much about it but makes you wonder. Beane GM could look at stats and invest different for least injured positions and be a competitive advantage Edited November 25, 2023 by Since1981 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of being the “closer” he’s now struggling to beat 3rd string tackles one-on-one. Like we saw with Tre, it sometimes takes a defensive player a full season after they return to get back to their old form. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see don’t see flashes of “the old Von” until next season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobills404 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 This would be a great week for him to be inactive 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunTheBall Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 The expectations for Von coming of an ACL were always ridiculous. I think you limit Von to 10 snaps a game or so and use him situationally so he can get some reps in and not hurt the team until he starts showing some burst. It’s up to the coaches not to put him in on critical downs or say, 3rd and short against Cinci to hold an edge against the run. Pure idiocy by McD. I think the best we can hope for is that if we make the playoffs he comes back to like 80% Von and can have some sort of impact. I’d expect if he’s going to return to form it won’t be until next year, and that’s a big if. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is because he does not have trust in that knee. I don't see this changing much from one week ago, it's going to take time. Even White struggled last season with the same type injury after returning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Grundy Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I don’t think he’s cowardly. He just can’t seem to change direction very well yet. It seems a pity to play him now. He can run powerfully in one direction and that’s all. It’s not quite enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickleyjones Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 None of us know where von can get to but if there is a chance for him to make an impact this season, he must play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RG Murdock Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Miller's a sweet talking charlatan. All his rah-rah talk gets old when you never deliver. First he was going to return for the playoff's (last year). Then be ready for the Season opener, then for game five. If anything he's regressed. He must think we all fell of the turnip truck. Actually some here have... Miller states "He's unabashedly constantly positive". Just admitting that tells you you need to ignore him... One of the worst signings in team history. He'll probably get his first sack in a garbage time game after the Bills are eliminated. Likely against the Patriots scrubs. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo03 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Von doesn't want to become Von again. That's the problem. He's making 20 million a year to go through the motions. He doesn't need to do anything. And he isn't gonna give a sh*t if he's released either. The dude wins either way lol 1 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't we wait until he shows he can make an impact in practice? I would bet there are drills they could do to simulate game action. Not sure why he has to so slowly figure out what he's got left while taking up a spot on the field. It's like we're playing with 10 out there. He literally doesn't do anything. I would take any other option over him right now, until he proves it in practice. Hope I'm wrong this week, but I haven't been the last 6 weeks.

Which, without pressure up the middle, is putting him 10 yard behind the QB when he rushes. If someone (Joseph maybe?) could get a push up the middle, Von will get much closer.

MikePJ76 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Watching him rush to the tackles outside shoulder and the tackle then just walking him 3 yards behind the quarterback is depressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
