Peter Boulware was a beast and was a great player FYI.

I didn’t watch a lot of Von Miller last season. All I remember was watching Von get a beatdown by the Patriots OLine after he cheap shot Dan Connolly after Tom Brady punted the ball.

That’s funny. All I remember from last season was 2007 all over again.

Mind your manners.

Take off the black and gold glasses if you think Boulware wasn’t great. If he wasn’t decimated by injuries he’d be on his way to the Hall. The man was a monster.

Even scarier is the thought of Elvis Dumervil playing on the other side. They’ll get to the passer. Denver’s defense is quietly shaping up this offseason and on paper it looks like a big year is possible.

Jack Del Rio, Drayton Florence, Tracey Porter, and Mike Adams (who is highly underrated) are all upgrades to the unit.

Oh, and adding Big East Defensive Player of the year in Derek Wolfe in the 2nd is plenty of value, especially considering what Denver has at DT.

I just shudder to think what he could do with Miller and Dumervil.

@greglloydrules:
I agree that if he stays healthy, Miller will be good for a long time,however I disagree that Boulware wasn’t great. He only played 8 years,but had 70 sacks. You don’t get to the QB that many times being just “good”. Compare James Harrison of the steelers who’s started every game(when healthy) since ’07 and he only has 51 sacks in that timeframe. Ware is the gold standard for LB/DE and he has 100 in 6 years, so 70 in 8 is pretty excellent. As a side note,the guy who replaced Boulware was even better, he got 83 sacks in his first 8 years. It’s crazy how some teams can draft guys like that(Steelers,Ravens,Giants) but other teams whiff so badly.

Von Miller is going to be a very good player for a long time. Peter Boulware was good not great. Good comparison. The only difference is that Boulware was much taller. The man was a tree.

I hate what happened in Carolina with Foxy, and I partly blame Fox as well as Richardson for that whole debacle, but having him and Del Rio on the same sideline again is a scary combination.

Von may be “productive”, but unless they get somebody who knows how to execute a draft, they are going to be 8-8 or worse for the next 5 years. Elway needs to learn about “value”

the two of them sound like a good match. scary for the rest of the league if Del Rio gets even MORE out of Miller.
