#58 Von Miller vs. #58 DT
Had an interesting discussion at the gym about Miller v. Thomas. Now, to be fair we both agreed that the Chiefs would love to have Miller.
But when you break down the pass rushing, Miller is typically going against the RT where as Thomas was typically going against the LT. We both were of the opinion that DT was a better pass rusher simply because the LT position is usually played by better players compared to the RT position. How much of a difference do you think there is facing a LT v. RT on every down? |

Who's the best RT in the game? Who's the best LT in the game? Once you come up with those, and you compare the two players, you'll have your answer.

Lots of college left tackles are moved to right tackle when it's believed that they can't face the top pass rushers. Von Miller faces the B team in every game, and he does it with a snootful of performance enhancing drugs, as was proven by his suspension a few years back.
And no, I do not want Von Miller on the Chiefs. Yuck.

Von is well on his way to transforming his body with PEDs just like Bonds.

He faces a lesser tackle every week and still can't hold his jock as a pass rusher

Miller went beast mode in their Super Bowl run. DT was benched in his biggest playoff game. Edge to Miller.

DT got 20 sacks in a run first league. The guy would break the single season sack record in today's NFL.

The guy got more than a third of those 20 sacks in one game that year. And while teams do pass the ball more in Von's era, they're also using the quick passing game much more.

Miller is a fine LB - but he's no Derrick Thomas. Thomas would punish QB's all day. Ask Elway. He HATED coming to Arrowhead. Now, maybe before Miller is done, he will surpass DT - and I'm biased as hell, but right now, at least in my mind - he is well behind Derrick.
