Chiefs #58 Von Miller vs. #58 DT - Page 3

**petegz28** · 10-13-2016, 07:45 PM

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?

Von was the reason Broncos won that SB, not Manning. Von also got them there in the Pats game.

The game Thomas set the single game sack record in was a loss. That should tell you all you need to know who the real difference maker is.

Von Miller was clowned by Mitchell Schwartz in a game last year. See the problem with your argument here?

Your logic is not very 'sharpe' on this one.

Von's been owned by Fisher multiple games.

This is a horrible argument.

He recorded 7 sacks. 7. In one game. The fact that his team lost isn't an indictment of his individual ability.

DT was awesome. Too bad the Chiefs never put together a complete team around him.

Von is good but does plenty on pure strength alone.

DT was quicker, had better feet, more finesse and better pass rushing moves.

Miller is better in pass coverage.

Agreed. The Chiefs lost that game because Dave Kreig made one incredible play at the end. It happens.
