He is not going to surprise me. He is the one player I have wanted to add for the past several years, to this defense. I will not be surprised if he gains all pro status again, this season.
i know exactly what you're saying and i'm feeling the same way. my expectations for him are high.
but what if, just if, he actually did surprise us ~ i mean, great googly moogly ~ how freaking incredible would he be. i hope he makes good on that statement.
That would mean another banner ... and I'm here for all of that.
Yeah...no disrespect to Von Miller (as I don't think we get to/win the Super Bowl without his contribution), but once Shanahan exposed Troy Reeder mid-season last year, our defense was significantly compromised - especially since (due to injury/personnel moves) Morris couldn't take him off of the field.
Now, with Wagner (and a, hopefully, emerging Jones) the short/intermediate middle of our defense won't be so easy to pick on.
I suspect that the upgrade with Wagner in the middle (over Reeder) should more than compensate for the loss of Miller (with a combo of Hollins/Lewis) replacement.
