Von Miller's QB hit and sack rates for 2025

[gimmesix]

Miller had 15 QB hits (1 in every 28 snaps) and 9 sacks (1/47) on 420 snaps last year.

For comparative purposes, Micah Parsons had 27 QB hits (1/26) and 12.5 sacks (1/57) on 707 and Rashan Gary 20 (1/33) and 7.5 (1/87) on 653.

Our leader, Jadaveon Clowney, had 10 QB hits (1/37) and 8.5 sacks (1/43) in 373.

And now, we have Von Miller.

Regardless of what is left in his tank, his knowledge of pass rushing will be more valuable to the DLine in the long run. Hopefully, his presence alone will make those around him better.

So why didn’t we just resign Clowney?

Exactly ........zero negative to this signing. Like having another assistant coach in the D-line room

Look this guy doesn't have a lot left but he has something left to add to a rotation and probably be in on obvious pass rush times of the game where he can affect the game the most not wear him out on rundowns and all that kind of stuff if you strategically use this guy he still got something..


Anybody who mocks this but yet Seattle won a Super Bowl last year with the whole defense by committee the no single point of failure they got guys who we thought were pretty washed up in Tank Lawrence guys like him who did they get this year i'm pretty sure they got two ex Cowboy defenders on their team right now maybe 3 isn't Fowler over there right now I mean can we get serious I know a lot of people in here think Jerry just picks up washed up trash but Clowney did a good job last year he didn't really fit this defense as well So that answers some guys question up there let the defensive coaches pick their players not the ones leftover from last year and that's exactly what's going on this year..

Look I realize that adoree Jackson is not a big name and people are going to mock it it's not Eli Apple this is a guy who's familiar with Christian Parker drum roll please let the new defensive coaches pick their own guys whether they fail or not at least its Who they want who they believe can do something and even if it's just a situation like when the Cowboys picked up Gilmore and Brandon Cooks for 5th round trades those guys contributed that's what we need we're looking for depth to help the young players have a little bridge to learn from and maybe get better from sooner than later.

Just a friendly reminder that all teams do it not just Jerry you're just adding and churning the roster whether it's at the bottom or finding some veterans to mix in with your young group...

Because Clowney boosted his stats last game of the season. Maybe Von did too I’m not sure. But Clowney killed the lowly Giants.

So why didn’t we just resign Clowney?

There must have been something that Christian Parker didn’t like.

As soon as Parker was hired, all talk of bringing Clowney back ended.

Definitely, and he knows Parker from their time in Denver, so he can help with the culture that Parker is trying to install.

Von is a master of strip sacks. He had TWO in Superbowl 50 and was named Superbowl MVP. I really hope he has 2-3 years of magic left....and we win...

He was incredible in the playoffs that year. Nearly unblockable.

That entire postseason run from him was incredible. What's most impressive is the quality of QB's he got too. Brady and MVP Cam Newton.

Pressure, pressure, pressure, sacks are nice to have, but pressure is every bit as important .

And what else is important?
It’s when that pressure, comes, and when you get that SACK
That’s why I like the guy, when it’s needed he steps up

I love this signing. I can't see how it's a bad move in any way.

I get he's ancient in football years, but clearly he still has something left in the tank (based on the eye test and stats the OP provided), and surely has the passion to play. If he wants to ride off into the sunset with the Cowboys....so be it!

I mean, come on I agree,
You need rotational players as much as you need starters, not everybody can still be a superstar, he’s a very smart player, very seldom out of position if at all, yeah, I think it’s an excellent signing

This is the best attitude we as fans can have about this signing.

And best of all, he didn’t cost us our 2027 1st round pick (and more)!

What are you counting as snaps?

Miller is a good rotational pass rusher but numbers for those guys are always going to be good compared to someone like Micah who plays every snap.

Miller (like Gary, actually) also had a few cleanup sacks that aren't really a measure of an effective rush.
