    Von Miller expects to be ready to play by early August



    Miller originally thought he had some lateral meniscus damage, and hoped he would be able to brace up and return to play by Week 11 — just 17 days removed from the injury. Instead, on December 1, the Bills decided to place him on injured reserve and give his knee time to rest.
    On December 7, Miller had exploratory surgery done with the intention of re-positioning the meniscus and cleaning up some cartilage. As we now know, however, that wasn’t all that the medical staff found while Miller was on the table in Dallas.

    Damn could we use him.

    Here's hoping he returns better than ever!

      During his press conference on the morning after the Bills were eliminated from the NFL playoffs, Miller also said he had no intention of this being the last run this team made at a Super Bowl.

      “We’re in a unique spot here. We got a great football team. Sometimes you gotta just keep playing. Sometimes you gotta just line up and give us another year to go through it again,” he said, indicating that he is going to be ready to make another run at a championship. “I didn’t feel like this was my one shot. The way this team was built, I came here to have multiple shots at winning the Super Bowl. I still feel like that.”

        If we can get him back and have a diverse pass rush (someone needs to emerge opposite him) and then invest in an O-line, we could win the whole thing.

        Epenesa and Basham are just fringe rotation guys. Rousseau has to make another jump but I'm not counting on it.

        It's clear Ed Oliver isn't going to be what we thought he could be and I hope we draft a 3-tech to threaten his position on the depth chart.

        In short, the only must keep D-linemen are Von, DQ, and Rousseau. Everyone else is expendable, although I'd like Phillips back to play limited snaps.



        Tim Settle is marginally better than our PS DT's.

          I believe it.

            You all realize he is 34.5 years old an he is under contract FOREVER! He talks a great game but he’s getting more injury prone ever year. This might have been the year, but he becomes a liability moving forward! Please don’t rework his contract, he is not an asset anymore!

              8 sacks in 12 games. 10 TFL. Not a bad showing.

              in 13 games, Rousseau had 8 sacks 14 TFL

                And then he got hurt when we needed him most and he’s 34 and a half. He’s not going to be an asset moving forward! He might be the worst contract in Bills history, he’s not getting any younger and he is VERY EXPENSIVE!

                    Our pass rush was noticeably better when he was on the field.

                    When that is no longer the case, then we have a problem.

                    We can win games using him sparingly so as to keep him fresh.

                    We need him in the playoffs.

                      I don’t disagree with this, I just think we made a bad deal at his age and for the length and amount we gave him.

                      I’d rather have gotten Bradley Chubb or Rowland Smith, younger and cheaper.

                        Love the player not the money dished out and definitely not the age.

                          That’s all I’m sayin. If we would have traded for Chubb or Raquan Smith and offered half the money, they’d have jumped all over it.
