Absolutely.... if (at his age) Von has lost a step, I'm sure he will make up for it with his experience. Boom has had enough experience, and his time is NOW. He will not dominate in this game, but he must slow Miller. If Boom can have a solid/steady yeoman's time of game against Von and this defense it will go a long ways in showing that he is indeed ready for fulltime duty at such a vital position.
