Von Miller Has More Sacks This Season Than Any Bills Player Thus Far...

No.  His injuries and running past the QB was his problems in Buffalo.

People forget just how many times his rush lanes and undisciplined sellout pass rushes cost us massive plays that lost several games. I think von is probably a good teammate in the locker room but his play style since his injury was and still is extremely selfish on a team that was so close to getting a one seed. He was all about his sack stats, knowing full well the cost for the team of taking egregious angles and losing contain. Obviously im not saying hes the sole reason we lost those games but ill never forget watching him sellout several times to get Jalen hurts and with his angle ended up 4 yards behind hurts and hurts lightly jogging to pick up huge 1st downs to keep drives alive. 

Bosa definitely sells out for pass rush pretty often but you will see him hesitate and string out rbs to the sideline occasionally, von never did that, or at least never put in 100% effort to do it.

For all the focus on pass rushing DT's we draft stiff pocket collapsing DE's not bendy, twitchy pass rushers.  Most of the DE's we draft are 25 pounds away from being the same DT's we draft.

I honestly forgot he's still playing. He's not winning that elusive 3rd Super Bowl with three different teams in Washington.

I wouldn't trade any of our 4 2025 rotating Edge players for him straight up. (Solomon excluded)

Many years ago we had the worst offensive line in the NFL. Many fans claimed it was the "scheme." Then they hired Mouse McNally  a famed OL coach. The line either stayed the same or got worse.

 

What I learned from this is that talent is even more important than scheme. 

 

Agree.  Talent and scheme win SBs.  Beane gets a lot of flack for players not performing to their draft status in the 1st round, but I would guess every other GM in the National Football League has drafted similar players but earlier in the 1st round.  Plus, drafting at the end means you get leftovers.  Do we really think we can do better than Beane?

Well ....

Vons had more sex than me this season than I've had since the drought.. 

 

Oh ..Sacks...nevermind 😞

[Nuncha]

Did any of his 4 sacks come at a crucial time in a game?  Probably all in garbage time.  The dude is washed.

[HOUSE]

What was the final score again?

[RiotAct]

Who?????

[SCBills]

Bosa, Hoecht, Rousseau and AJ are better than him right now.  

[ControllerOfPlanetX]

I thought he was in line to be the next GM?
 

[gobills404]

He had 8 sacks in his first 10 games for us in 2022. I’m no doctor but I have hunch that tearing his ACL at 33 years old might be what held him back.

[BVBILLS]

Are we still paying Vons contract, or the cap hit?

Good news the Sabres are back! 4-4-1 baby!

 

(honestly they might be decent if they just never play UPL in net... like a possible playoff team) ... I will now run and hide

so the kid says...I know what UPL stands for..Usually Plays Lousy....

Watch him get ten sacks. That'll put a bow on the whole debacle. 

[billsfan714]

Seems like his snaps are way up in Washington that it was here, they're playing him more than we did.   And no I dont miss Von one bit.

[BillytheKid]

Hoecht had 2 sacks and 6 pressures in his first game. The most pressures of anyone in the game. 
 

Having him in there with Bosa, Rousseau, Deon Walker is helping a lot. 

[stuvian]

Washington is in danger of missing the playoffs 

[NickelCity]

It is deeply unsurprising that Von is having a serviceable year. He's not on our team due to a confluence of injury and contract.

You do realize how much money we'd be paying for those 4 sacks if he was still on the team right now, right? 

$15.4 M in dead cap the Bills still are carrying this year...So we are still paying in a sense

 

I won't bash Beane for this deal.  I praised it in the moment.  I have ripped him for not making the trade for Miller the year before.  Von was playing great before the knee injury.
