So are we just done expecting Von Miller to do anything?

He did sorta get a pressure on Poona's sack, though Oliver impacted the play more. Von drove the RT back into the QB & forced him to step up to avoid the collision, he then had to avoid Oliver & Poona cleaned it up.

 

But other than that play, Von is a total non-factor as a pass rusher. I know he was credited with a tackle tonight, but I don't remember seeing it. He should not be playing, especially on money downs.

I simply don't understand why he's on the field when the bills have to win out. I know I'm not the only one that sees him stop, stand up, and just stand there if he sees its a run play away from him. And thats what scares me, that's not his knee. He's not giving any effort unless he can sellout on a pass play. Absolutely terrible

That's no different. He's essentially said as much before he got hurt.

On the plus, he's stopped circumnavigating the globe to get to the QB. At least he's providing a little containment now.

Non Miller is terrible and shouldn’t even be wearing a jersey on the sideline. Anyone off the PS would give more than this clown is right now. It’s not just his play on the field that sucks. It’s his entire package. Not only does he suck, he looks like he’s giving less than zero effort out there. McD and Beane look like fools more and more every play he’s on the field. Just make this clown inactive for the Pats game. Maybe it will light a fire under him or something.

I was on the “Let Von play to get better train” but I think yesterday might be where I get off.  
 

That was pathetic.  
 

He’s basically just engaging and bull rushing .. and not even an effective bull rush at that.  
 

Im sure McDermott told him to contain rush, which is why he didn’t try to beat the OT to the edge a ton, but 75% of the time that just results in Von running off the screen and leaving a massive hole for a QB to escape through.  
 

Those can’t be our two options with him. 
 

Get AJE back out there when he’s ready and then rotate Von sparingly as the 5th DE behind Shaq.

I feel like it’s similar to Tre White and Spencer Brown. The reps aren’t in his muscle memory and he doesn’t get enough snaps to get that closing feel by the end of the game. Von I love you but he’s not his usual self right now. He needs a full offseason to get his mind muscle connection right. Look what it did for Spencer Brown. Von is a physical freak and has not lost physically imo.

Watching him live, it’s clear that he simply doesn’t trust his knee right now. He’s playing like he’s on a frozen pond in the backyard. Every step is taken with an abundance of caution. No idea what the stupid coaching staff is thinking putting him out there. He’s nothing more than a paperweight.
