Von Miller is a Bill

[Foxx]

No limitations

 

[Taro T]

Any updates today?  (Is today the day they fly to London or will they go tomorrow?)

 

If White wasn't out this week, would be perfectly fine with not bringing Miller back this week.  But would like to see him dressed even if he gets very limited action to keep from that possibly causing a letdown.  (On top of the natural letdown of having crushed your natural rival and now playing a much less acclaimed opponent even though they're the best team in a bad division.  (Not ready to believe the Texasses are for real.))

If there's any question, rest him. It's a long season.

Very conflicted here. I feel like if he does play, he'll be on a pitch count, of sorts, because he needs to get into game shape.  But then I remember Bruce skipping most of everything pre-season and then destroying people on day 1.

 

What say the crowd here? What do you think about him playing?

Truth is, I have no real idea how good Jacksonville is, so I don't know if I want him playing or not.

 

Last week, when the game hinged in part on getting pressure on Tua, I'd have said yes.  Next week, with the Giants complete lack of pass-blocking, I'd say there's no hurry. 

 

This week?  HE's had the pads off for a while.  The best I can say is let him play a few snaps to shake off the cobwebs.

5 plays at the most, and nothing in a high-pressure situation.

I'm watching last week's Jacksonville game trying to answer the above.  And it's telling me nothing, because Atlanta is magnificently horrible.

Skip to a minute in, they had technical difficulties...

His return has been less than spectacular, but the Bills better hope he gets good fast as he's not going anywhere.

It was a gamble.  We were unlucky.

You aren't kidding. This team has been snake bit the last few years.

[Uncle Joe]

Whilst we're on thread subject lines (see Damar) maybe change this one to "expected to resume playing".

And yes Von is a future HOFer but that was a big wiff last night

What if he retires?

In business terms, it is essentially a "sunk cost." Any money a team pays a player must be accounted for against the salary cap. If there is dead money in a player's contract and he is released or retires, that charge will accelerate onto the team's salary cap for the current year.

Good point and cause for hope.
