What tackle has handled Von Miller?

[Huckleberry1]

To be clear I wasn't saying Miller deserves as much as Watt just that a playoff performance like that boosts his value in free agency, and where he was already looking at an 80 million deal this may have catapulted him to the 90-100 million area.

This said I agree with sciz that an exclusive tag is the most likely outcome.

All credit should go to Miller for this playoff run. He was unblockable, and definitely deserved the MVP.

But what's being completely underrated is the spectacular play of Malik Jackson, Derek Wolfe, and the rest of the DTs. How many times have we seen great quarterbacks (most notably Brady), neutralize great edge rushers by taking a few steps up in the pocket. It makes the tackles job so much easier because they can basically concede the wide rush. But QB's couldn't do that against this Denver front, because those DTs almost ALWAYS had push up the middle. Not always enough to get to the QB themselves, but there was no room for Brady or Newton to step up, which gave Miller and Ware a straight shot.

As always, the edge rushers make the flashy plays and get all the credit, while the big uglies in the middle set the table for them.

How can a line with such speed dominate against the run like they do?

How did Joe Thomas do when the Browns played Denver this year? I am very intrigued to know.

Miller almost always goes against the right tackle and Ware was out, so Thomas was going against the backup (Shaq Barrett) all game. Right tackle Mitchell Schwartz held Miller without a sack or QB hit as part of his very good season, and he's about to get paid high end RT money because of it.

We should be extremely thankful he did not fall to #3 for Buffalo.

Yeah, that sure worked out well for us.

Run the ball at and over Miller.

Well, I don't know...But I imagine that their Speed has something to do with it.
