Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller is one of the most lethal pass rushers to ever play in the NFL and has shown no signs of slowing down. Denver's defense may not be as dominant as it once was, but that has not changed Miller's production. He has still been able to get to opposing quarterbacks at will.
In an interview shared by the Denver Broncos' official website, Miller talked about what he needs to do in order to continue getting sacks.
“I just got to run over my guy. I just got to run straight through him, put him on his back and just get a sack. It’s not like I’m a receiver. It’s not like I’ve got to break at this route and catch the ball. I’ve just got to get there. I’ve just got to get there. It’s something that I haven’t been doing well over the last couple of weeks. I haven’t been playing the run well, I haven’t been rushing the passer well over the last couple of weeks. I can fix that. I like living in a world where it’s me and the problem is me, because the quickest way to fix it is me. That’s the type of world that I live in, and that’s [how] I’m going into the game. I’m going into the game trying to fix those issues.”
Denver has seen Miller do just that this season. Through the first five games of the 2018 season, Miller has racked up 20 total tackles to go along with four sacks, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, and a defended pass.
Those numbers show just how productive Miller has been this season, even in his eighth NFL campaign. Many thought he would show signs of regression this season. If he has anything to say about it, regression will not happen anytime soon.
Miller has always been a nightmare for opposing offensive coordinators to game plan against. There is no way to truly “stop” him. He is always going to find ways to impact a game and get to the quarterback.
Expect to see his dominance continue moving forward this season. Denver may not be a Super Bowl contender like they once were, but with Miller, they are always going to have a pass rush capable of making plays.
