The Dallas Cowboys are entering the 2026 season with optimism, but a Cowboys insider has posed a critical question regarding veteran edge rusher Von Miller's contribution to the defense. The insider wonders if Miller, who is expected to play 10 to 15 snaps per game, can make a significant impact given his limited playing time.
Recently signed by the Cowboys, the 37-year-old Miller is anticipated to enhance the team's pass rush. His experience is seen as vital, especially in mentoring younger players. Edge rusher Marist Liufau highlighted the benefits of having Miller in the locker room, describing him as a valuable resource who acts like an additional coach.
Liufau noted that Miller has been actively engaging with the team, providing insights and support both on and off the field.
Expectations for the Cowboys are high this season, as the team boasts a strong roster and a potentially formidable defense, alongside one of the top offenses in the NFL. Will McClay, the vice president of player personnel, expressed confidence in Miller's ability to pressure quarterbacks and emphasized the importance of his leadership for younger players.
He stated that having experienced players like Miller helps the younger team members learn effectively from those who have excelled at a high level.
