When the Broncos take on the Oakland Raiders this Sunday, fans that head to Sports Authority Field at Mile High will receive a Gameday program with linebacker Von Miller on the cover.
The cover story, titled “Still Hungry,” focuses on Miller’s hard work to build on his rookie season that featured a trip to the Pro Bowl and Defensive Rookie of the Year honors.
Miller’s determination to improve was not lost on defensive end Elvis Dumervil.
“All offseason, he’s been wanting to work,” Dumervil said. “He told me he wanted to be a better all-around linebacker, and he’s displaying that. He’s just making all his weaknesses better. That will be scary, because he does a lot of things great, so if he can work on his weaknesses, it’s going to be a problem.”
Through three games this season, Miller’s hard work appears to have paid dividends, quickly erasing any possibility that his stellar rookie season was merely a flash in the pan. In the season opener against Pittsburgh, Miller dropped Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger twice and added two more tackles behind the line of scrimmage. He recorded his third sack of the season a week later against Atlanta.
“He’s becoming more of a professional — I can see that,” Dumervil said. “He’s growing as a more professional player overnight. He takes his job seriously. There’s a reason why he was the No. 2 pick and the defensive rookie of the year. A guy like Von, he wants to show he’s worth every penny of it. That’s what he’s coming out to do. He loves the game.”
The program also features a Q&A with tight end Jacob Tamme and a “Get to Know” session with Miller’s position coach, Linebackers Coach Richard Smith.
The cover story and Q&As with Tamme and Smith will all be posted to DenverBroncos.com next week.

WE BETTER WIN THIS GAME!!! The only team I cant stand more then oakland is the steelers and that is only because they have been sucessful lol Protect Mile High!!! Their run stops TODAY!!!! Talk to you all after work! GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!!!!!
Game day y’all. Crazy to say must win this early in the season, but we really need to put the Raiders down today. I want to see us get off to a good start, and I feel like a broken record when say we need to control the clock, be balanced on offense, and win the turnover battle… How about a screen pass today? Some run plays to the outside? Maybe some play action?
FYI – I just heard Phil Simms interviewed, and he went on and on, gushing over the Broncos.. He called us a “very good” football team, beyond Peyton Manning, and said if not for some mental mistakes, we’d have a much different record. He mentioned our secondary being one of the better ones in the league, and how we get a lot of hits on the QB, which take their toll. Thought I’d mention it, as Phil is usually anti-Broncos..
YAY!!!! OT! I usually hate Phil Simms. I’m feeling good about todays game. Real good!
Awesome, It’s game day. Kill the Faiders!!
This will be a easy contest for us. I expect a smashing by us. BRONCOS 2012!!!
Of course, no one knows how the game will plan out, but these divisional games are always tough, given the familiarity between the teams. When you add Dennis Allen in the mix, it only adds to that fact. The two players we need to shut down are Darren McFadden and Denarius Moore. both are explosive players, and if we can contain them both, I think we will be successful.
B-R-O-N-C-O-S BRONCOS BRONCOS BRONCOS!!!
