mrags Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Looks to me like he’s still gingerly on those legs on cuts. I’ll believe the von hype this season when I see him do more than walk out of the tunnel this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 I think his floor is 6 sacks and his ceiling is 11. I'm thinking around 7-8 this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PBF81 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 (edited) Enough talk. Let's see him put up. Let the play do the talking. No one wants to hear it. Besides, he and AJE share the position, right, ... let the youngster play. Edited June 29 by PBF81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck Water Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 (edited) 8 hours ago, MasterStrategist said: "The talkin" as you say, is just each players confidence/bravado...you have to be able to let that go. What matters is the output on the field. Both Von and Tre needed more time than 1 year to get back on track. Just because Von was confident, and Tre by all accounts didn't talk because he really took the injury hard mentally/almost depression at first, doesn't matter either way. Everyone handles adversity differently, from a mental and physical stand point. Von chose to be optimistic and his "talkin" is part of that inner drive/confidence. It's real, not fake attitude, and just his way of going about his business and what he believed he could do to help his team LY. Von is guilty of getting certain fans' hopes up for LY. You can choose to believe every word Von, Beane, Coach, Josh, anyone on this team says, but the reality is these guys have certain ways of dealing with media based on their personalities, and everyone should use some common sense as well. Josh saying he was fine after his elbow injury in 2022 was an example of his true 'tough' attitude/grit, he isn't going to admit he's severely injured. And that's just another thing that makes Josh a great teammate and player in my eyes...in this day and age where some would rather spew excuses. All that matters is what version of Von shows up this year. 2022/close to 2022 Von OR a washed up player who got their end of career derailed by a bad injury. My money is on the former, and we will get a solid preview in about a month. I don't need to let a thing go.... You made a point that Von didn't deserve the hate he got for LY. I get your point about the confidence/bravado just being part of who Von is. But at the same time, when a guy goes public with it, he's got to know that fans will keep receipts if his mouth makes a promise that his body can't keep. I don't blame Von for tallking, but my point is he drew the reaction with his own actions (getting out there and talking) Edited June 29 by Beck Water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides last year coming off a major injury, when has he not backed it up? When he was like 8? Dudes worst stretches of pro career, are above average, and we're talking 1 season twice.... coming off injury. So 11 good years, 2 bad, in 13years. Pro. Nasty college. Probably absolutely filthy in HS. Clown take. If you don't like him, just say that lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe last offseason when he said he'll be ready to go at the start of the season (and wasn't, wound up on PUP). He's a great player but you shouldn't believe a thing that comes out of his mouth.

Doc Brown Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 15 hours ago, DabillsDaBillsDaBills said: Hate to be the bearer of bad news Von, but forcing yourself back way too early actively hurt your teammates. We would've been better off stashing him on IR and using the roster spot on someone else. I agree. My uneducated guess is Von and the staff may have made the mistake of believing past performance equals future results. He tore his ACL in December of 2013 and started the 2014 season nine months later and had 14 sacks that year (2nd team All Pro). This tear seemed to be more serious though and all the positive thinking in the world doesn't mean your body doesn't have ten more years of wear and tear on it. Even a 75% Von Miller is better than an AJ Epenesa though so let's hope he can at least be much better than last year to go along with Rousseau on obvious passing downs. I have my doubts but it would be a pleasant surprise. 41 minutes ago, DapperCam said: It’s not just about his performance. He’s just the kind of guy that talks nonstop.
