Morning After: Film from Seattle and Von Miller!

Before we begin, I would love to remind you of our August Training Camp special subscription offer to new annuals. This month, our best price of the year is available where you can lock in a year of Sturmstack for $5.33 a month ($64 annually). It ends when August ends so don’t delay - Less than two weeks left!

Today, I planned on breaking down some of the finer points of the Seattle game here for you to enjoy. There are some good talking points and I will get to several of them in this issue, but I actually think we would all agree that as much love as Camden Brown, Justin Barron and Sam Howell deserve, Von Miller probably clears all of them in terms of potential impact of 2026 and therefore, expect the first half of this to be about the Sunday night transaction which definitely got our attention as we put our list together of what to write today.

It seemed to be on the radar of potential ideas for this team for months, but also one in which the Cowboys could see through their options and decide what makes the most sense.

So, let’s dig in here.

Well, after offering clue after clue in his offseason, there is no further need to dance around it. Von finally got his wish and he can play in Dallas for the Cowboys. There is no question that he was ready to play and be close to family and the details finally have been worked out.

After years of flirting, there is now a relationship.

So, what should we surmise from all of this?

Well, first off, I think we all know that Von Miller is an absolute NFL superstar who walks right into the Hall of Fame.

We also know he is 37 years old and that is getting up there.

Yet, we saw last season that he can lead a team in sacks by just rolling out of bed and he did just that for Dan Quinn in Washington. He did not have a season like he used to have when he was running the league and an annual fixture on the All-Pro teams, but he was still affecting plays and games.

Can he help here? Of course he can. In a very big way.

Let’s talk this through as we envision the Christian Parker defense:
