Von Miller was unusually tight-lipped during a press conference earlier this week for the Denver Broncos. The Broncos head coach, Vic Fangio, doesn't view Miller's no-question presser as a ‘big deal.'
“I didn’t know he did it,” coach Vic Fangio told reporters on Friday. “I’d just imagine he might be tired of answering the same questions over and over again, but I don’t see it as a big deal.”
During the press conference, the All-Pro pass rusher made a statement to the media, but he didn't field any questions afterward. Miller is understandably frustrated with himself and how the Broncos have performed this season.
Currently, Denver is one of the few teams who have yet to win a game and Miller hasn't recorded a sack up to this points. The Broncos are the only team in the NFL who hasn't tallied a sack this season.
Throughout training camp, everyone had high expectations for Miller and Bradley Chubb in their second season together. Last season, the elite pass-rushing duo combined for 26.5 sacks.
As for Miller, the All-Pro linebacker exclaimed in the offseason that he has his eyes set on surpassing Bruce Smith's all-time sack record. Smith accumulated 200 sacks in his playing career; while Miller had 98 sacks in his first eight seasons in the NFL.
Just three games into the season, Miller is still stuck at the same number he had prior to Week 1. The Denver edge-rusher is more than capable of getting back on track. But the Broncos also need to get into a groove before it's too late.
