Von Miller

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

This cat is reminding me of those 1980's linebackers that were just stud pass rushers...the Cornelius Bennetts, the Andre Tippetts...that kind of player.

Buzzsaw.

I had doubts that he'd be a good fit for the Broncos (although, who didn't think he was a stud player? Was rather unanimous.) but he's so good, it doesn't matter where he plays or what position he plays, he gon' b gud.

I always like guys who cry on draft day........I like to think it means something.....in this case I guess it did. Dude is a stud.

he had my attention when the broncos defense was on the field last night along with Woodyard

It isn't just Von Miller, either, though his play last night really impressed me. There are a few other players in the top of the draft who are having good years rushing the passer- Marcell Dareus, Aldon Smith and Ryan Kerrigan are also having good years as well. Looks like this was a year for pass-rushers. Though Miller is probably the best of them all right now and was all over the place making plays last night.

Makes me think of Derrick Thomas. Great pick by Denver. Him and Elvis rushing the passer last night was a problem for the Jets.

Knew he was a beast the first time I saw him at A&M. He's a one man wrecking crew.

Why not just convert Von Miller to DE? His strength is rushing the passer.

Some guys do not do well out of the three point stance. He would also have to put on weight, which may affect his quickness.

Besides, he's obviously performing well, so why try to fix something that isn't broken?

I guess Derrick Thomas and Lawrence Taylor should've converted to DE too.

Idiot, they were OLB in a 3-4 defense. Denver plays a 4-3.

[DoubleDeuce]

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure KC ran a 4-3 at least a couple years in the 90s with Derrick(92 for instance)
