Miller collected four quarterback hits, three sacks, three tackles for loss

The Denver Broncos throttle back Von Miller every summer because if they don't Womens Customized Carolina Panthers Jerseys , in the words of coach Vance Joseph, "he'll wreck practice."So, Miller saved his wrecking ball for Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.Miller was in the Seahawks' backfield seemingly as much as Seattle running back Chris Carson, who was pick-pocketed in the second half as Miller simply snatched the ball out of his hands in one of the best plays of opening weekend."Technically, that's not a good move," Miller said with a chuckle, noting he should have set the edge instead of tossing aside fullback Tre Madden."You want to be stout, shock and scare. But I 'ole'ed' outside, so I knew I needed to get back down to be able to make the tackle. I just saw the ball and I just grabbed it."Miller said in the lead-up to the opener that he hates playing Wilson, whom he considers the best QB in the game. Yes, ahead of Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees Authentic Christian McCaffrey Jersey , the only three who were ranked higher in The Associated Press quarterback rankings that came out Friday."I still don't like playing against Russell," Miller said. "Running around out there, 20 yards, getting everybody tired. Luckily, we were able to get him before he could get started. That was in our scheme this week, we wanted to keep him in the pocket and (make) him beat us with his arm, which he's capable of doing."But we'd rather pick that poison and that strategy worked."Wilson threw for 298 yards and three TDs, but was picked off twice and sacked six times and ran just twice for 5 yards."He got out of the pocket a couple of times, but that's Russ," Miller said. "He's a great player. He's going to get out of the pocket, but we kept some of the great plays to a minimum."Miller didn't get to face Wilson in Super Bowl 48 because he'd blown out a knee toward the end of the 2013 season, the only one in his first seven years in the NFL when he didn't reach double digits in sacks.Miller was back in the Super Bowl two years later and won the game's MVP honors after harassing Cam Newton, whom he strip sacked twice, leading to 15 points in Denver's 24-10 win over the Panthers.The Broncos haven't been back to the playoffs since, going 14-18 over the past two years.Although Miller collected 23陆 sacks in that time http://www.pantherscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-christian-mccaffrey-jersey , too many deficiencies on the roster and deficits on the scoreboard kept him from being the difference maker he was Sunday.That doesn't mean he saw his performance as anything more than a good start."You know me, I never move faster than I have to. I never move slower than I need to," Miller said. "I just stay in the moment. We've got a great team. We got a great win today. We played great defense. This is how you want to start a season."His three sacks moved him into 50th on the NFL's all-time sack list with 86陆."It's great, to be 29 and in the top 50, the league has been around for close to 100 years now," Miller said. "It's great, man. It's a true blessing."At one point Sunday, the giant scoreboard showed Miller inhaling oxygen on the sideline after one of his big plays and the crowd roared."I wasn't even paying attention and I look up and Case is telling everybody to be quiet," Miller recounted. "I kind of felt bad for a second."It wasn't the only time Miller interrupted Keenum's focus, either.Keenum normally spends his time between series on the bench studying pictures of formations and talking with to his coaches, "but it's hard not to notice when the crowd's going crazy and Von's out there crawling or whatever he's doing, whatever his sack dance is. That's impressive to watch."I'm glad I'm on the sidelines when he's on the field, that's for sure."Wilson wasn't so lucky."I think that when it's third-and-3 or 4, I've spun out and make a lot of plays," Wilson said. "I would probably say most of the time it works."With a guy like Von http://www.carolinapanthersteamonline.com/daryl-williams-jersey , sometimes it doesn't." Josh Dobbs's impressive preseason ended up costing Landry Jones his job.The Pittsburgh Steelers chose to keep Dobbs and rookie Mason Rudolph as the primary backup quarterbacks behind Ben Roethlisberger when they pared the roster to 53 on Saturday. The decision left Jones, a six-year veteran, as the surprising odd man out.Dobbs made significant strides in his second training camp and ended the preseason by throwing for a touchdown and running for another in a victory over Carolina. He completed 67 percent of his passes while playing in three of Pittsburgh's four exhibition games and led the team in yards passing (434), touchdowns (four) and quarterback rating (111.9).Dobbs said afterward he wanted to continue his career with the Steelers but understood the business side of the game. The Steelers spent a third-round pick on Rudolph last spring and Jones played capably if not spectacularly while filling in for Roethlisberger over the last three seasons. The former Oklahoma star went 3-2 as a starter, with eight touchdowns and seven interceptions.Jones said before for the preseason finale he felt he was in a good position but added, "If they can cut Peyton Manning, they can cut anybody."Now Jones finds himself looking for work. As a vested veteran, Jones does not have to clear waivers and can sign with another team immediately. Meanwhile the Steelers enter the season with two backups behind the 36-year-old Roethlisberger who have yet to throw a pass in the regular season, a bit of a risk for a team with Super Bowl expectations.Other notable cuts included running back Fitzgerald Toussaint, cornerback Brian Allen and linebackers Keion Adams and Farrington Hugenin.Pittsburgh did keep a pair of undrafted rookie free agent linebackers in Matthew Thomas and Ola Adeniyi. Thomas ended camp with a spectacular sequence against the Panthers in which he strip-sacked Carolina quarterback Kyle Allen, recovered the fumble and raced 75 yards before being taken down just shy of the goal line.The Steelers open the season in Cleveland on Sept. 9.
