Von Miller Destruction MEGATHREAD

[Skacorica]

Watching Von turn Sanchez into scared, beaten puppy was probably the best part of the game yesterday (other than the last drive). This man deserves his own thread displaying the carnage he lays waste to on the field.

He is a Hombre. Nice pick EFX.

[NightTrainLayne]

Something about his dance after nailing Sanchez was cool. I think it demoralized Sanchez even more.

A couple years ago Champ Bailey was the funnest defender to watch on this team. His saviness, tackling ability, and ability to get picks was great. Now, Von Miller is the funnest Bronco to watch. I think he is already a top 5 pass rusher in the NFL, and should be defensive RoY hands down. He'll see some pro bowls in his future on sacks alone, but I hope he develops his run stopping and coverage game even more. He's made progress, but this guy has all the tools to be a wrecking force for the next decade.

I'm also glad Elvis seems to be coming around. We won't have to worry about our pass rush for a long time if those two guys stay healthy (and the front office doesn't trade them like what happened to all our other good players under McD)

[SmilinAssasSin27]

Although I was in the Marcel Dareus camp...I must say I haven't been this excited about a Denver defender since Atwater.

[G_Money]

Von is a CRUSHER. I love defense, and I REALLY love good LB play, so Miller is like Chrismas every week for me. I can't imagine how good he might be once he understands how to play the pass.

Well, I CAN...but I can't really talk about how that would make me feel in polite company. It'd be like nut around his pooch.

Maybe nut in a kennel.

That shows how bad Denver's D has sunk, that their CB, despite being a star, was the best player on D.

Von Miller is a MONSTER!!!

I loved it when the Broncos drafted him & I love watching him play on Sundays.

He's going to be a superstar! :salute:

[Locnar]

Von Miller hits so hard, many children are conceived on sundays.

Von Miller hits so hard John Madden is still yelling BOOM on his couch right now

[Dzone]

Does anyone still think we should have drafted Marcel Dareus instead?

When I was watching this during the game, I could have sworn that Miller punched the dude in the face. I was like "ohh crap that's gonna be a hell of a fine".

[getlynched47]

Von Miller needs to work on his sack dance.

I suggest he does a sack dance that incorporates a tea-bagging ritual

The bad thing about that clip (which is admittedly in slow mo) is that Sanchez has already released the ball when it starts and Miller isn't even in the frame. That makes it really easy to see the two extra steps before the hit. I'd be willing to call the first, with his left foot, momentum, but the following one with his right was just a flat out blind side late hit.

Doesn't matter.

OH, no, it does matter. You watch Suh getting called for every even remotely questionable calll for the rest of his career because of his dirty player rep.

You have to speed up a Qbs clock to force him into mistakes or look for inconsequential checkdowns. It's worth a flag to do this.

Besides, it's not like Miller is doing the same thing Suh is. You should probably work on your examples.

I have no problem speeding up the QBs clock, but Miller needs to speed up his own clock in doing it, because he gets there late too much, and leads with his helmet too much when he's on time. I want to win, but not so badly I'll cheer on a player paralyzing an opponent with an illegal hit. There are more important things than winning, like looking at myself in the mirror and not seeing a Raiders fan, or Buddy Ryan.

Every time I see a guy go down in a game I say a little silent prayer that he'll be alright, and don't check which jersey he's wearing first, because I don't want to see a repeat of what happened to Dennis Byrd. I don't think anyone does; I certainly hope not. Someone compared Miller to LT in terms of playing dirty the other day, but even LT was horrified when he made the (perfectly legal but deeply unfortunate) hit that (unintentionally) ended Joe Theismanns career. I can't stand Theismann, the 'Skins or Notre Dame, but wouldn't wish that on anyone.

DELIBERATE play like that can and does result in fifteen yard automatic first downs (in a game where no quarter can end on a defensive penalty,) and Miller can forget about the rookie sack record if he's serving a four game suspension, but the point is not that dirty play DOES earn such penalties: The point is it SHOULD. You can play mean, tough and physical within the rules; Bob Lilly did, Reggie White did, Steve Atwater did. Personally, I think the guys who are scary AND CLEAN are a lot scarier than the ones you know aren't really that tough as long you watch them to make sure they don't get in a cheap shot when your back is turned (I know a lot of Aggies, and none of them thinks that makes anyone "tough.")

Understand, I like Miller, a lot; he's got the skill and ability to be a devastating LB without having to spear anyone or hit them late, which is just one more reason why he should do just that.

[Ziggy]

It's not only Sanchez that's feeling the Von Miller effects after the game. He's also punished Carson Palmer and Matt Cassell the last few weeks. I was comparing him to Derrick Thomas in the offseason, but he's nastier. He doesn't just sack QB's, he gives them a beat down.

I think you're underestimating how fast the game is being played. That video you showed was in extreme slow motion. The refs aren't watching the game at that speed. It's kind of pointless to look at it in extreme slow motion like that.

Miller needs to be aggressive. The last thing that needs to happen is for Miller to become less of a player because he gets flagged a couple of times for being aggressive.

I think the plays that people are complaining about are borderline and he gets the benefit of the doubt because he's closing in so fast. Against someone like Tom Brady, this may get a flag but it also is just as likely going to be the reason we would have a chance.

[Agent of Orange]

I could be wrong but it seems like Von Miller is all over the field more than Derrick Thomas was. Some times Von was chasing down Plaxico Burress downfield.

And then what about when NYJ had that bad/missed snap and Sanchez had to chase after the ball to recover it? Miller was closing in on the ball at an insane rate of speed. Sanchez was lucky to come up with it. You simply can't blink with someone as fast and relentless as Miller. Miller might be one of the best defensive players in the league, nevermind top rookie.

The rule of thumb is taking an extra step is a late hit. Personally, I think that's unfair, because when a defender's going at a dead sprint forward, if he doesn't plant his foot before pulling up he's gonna wind up on his face (some of them do for just that reason, and that's a good way to get hurt, especially in places with concrete under their turf). However, two steps is unquestionably too much for me; if you don't veer aside after planting your foot the first time, you hit the QB deliberately.

Meanwhile, it didn't happen on that play, but the League has already announced a fine against Miller for spearing Sanchez on another play in that game (they didn't call it spearing, they called it "leading with the helmet," but that's BS; spearing is spearing is spearing and we didn't need another rule against something already illegal.) That's the second time he's been fined for that this year, but far from the second time he's DONE it (he did at least twice against the Jets, but only got caught once.)

A lot of it is close, I admit, but it's just happening too often, often enough that I can't count all the times I've seen him come in late or spear a QB. That's from someone who agrees with the suggestion it only LOOKED like he came in low against I-forget-whom a few weeks ago because the QB was backing away at the time (dive for a guys belly, he steps back, you end up at his knees, but that's not a penalty in my book.) I love aggression as much as or more than the next man, but not carelessness or recklessness that can put someone in a wheel chair for the rest of their life. Miller doesn't have to play that way to be a Pro Bowl LB, but it wouldn't be right even if he did.

I dispute that last part, but OK.

Since the first game against the Chargers, Miller has gotten better and more aggressive. I'm excited for this game to see if he can keep putting QB's on their arses. One thing about Rivers though when he feels the pressure, he does a great job of stepping up in the pocket....need help from the dline to collapse that.

It will be awesome to see Rivers frustrated/pouting, throwing/kicking the ball around after getting off the ground multiple times.

Miller sent Cassel to the IR. :lol:

Von Miller restores my faith in Denver's scouting department. With Dareus out there as a legit #2 overall at this team's biggest need Von Miller was not the obvious selection at all.

I was OK with the Von Miller pick but he is not who I would have taken. Props to the Broncos for being right on this one...it was an incredibly important pick to hit on. They made the right pick and it wasn't the pick of least resistance.

EFX did a great job with him. He is awesome and you can tell this a a guy Elway would not want to line up against.

Elway stated he could evaluate defense better then QB, by who he would not want to line up against during a game.

This is downright abuse of Hunter (and Sanchez)

We aren't sure if Miller will be retaining the starter position next year unless his interception % goes up. In the interim we have decided to trade dumervil.
