The Dallas Cowboys are entering the 2026 season with high expectations, bolstered by the recent signing of veteran edge rusher Von Miller. However, a Cowboys insider has raised a critical question regarding Miller's potential impact, specifically whether 10 to 15 snaps per game would be sufficient for him to make a difference on the field.
Miller, now 37 years old, is expected to enhance the Cowboys' pass rush. His physical condition appears promising, and there are hopes he will contribute significantly despite his age. Cowboys edge rusher Marist Liufau emphasized the value Miller brings to the team, describing him as a mentor who acts like another coach in the locker room.
Liufau noted that Miller has been actively involved in helping younger players, offering insights during meetings and on the practice field.
The Cowboys' leadership is optimistic about the overall roster for the upcoming season, which includes a potentially strong defense and one of the top offenses in the NFL. Will McClay, the vice president of player personnel, expressed confidence in Miller's ability to pressure opposing quarterbacks and highlighted the importance of his leadership for younger teammates.
McClay believes that having experienced players like Miller can enhance the learning process for younger players, making them more receptive to guidance.
