Von doesn't play behind the defensive line. He plays on the line of scrimmage the majority of the time. DJ relies on the guys in front of him to not let the big guys get to his level. Von and DJ play two totally different positions.

Yes, DJ is exactly as bad as I claim him to be. I know. I actually watched him play. As I said he is physically gifted and mentally deficient. The team has tried to keep him on the field because of his physical gifts. Apparently the team asked him to play a new position recently. I'm guessing that they are asking him to finally play Line Backer.
Von Miller is a Line Backer. I know this is hard to understand. Denver fans aren't used to seeing someone play that position with authority, at a high level and with impact on every play. The last time we had a guy like that his name was Al Wilson and he played Mike. But go ahead and wrap your head around it. Sometimes a LB will drop into coverage. Sometimes a LB will hang around the box and diagnose. Sometimes a LB will float at the LOS and rush or take out the RB. The really, really good ones do these things well.
