Great Preparation + Great Coverage = Sacks

November 10th, 2012 - 7:38am by Von Miller

I’m looking forward to a great matchup this week against a tough offense led by one of the superstars in this league, Cam Newton.

Cam is cool — I think I’m his biggest fan. We got to know each other last year when we were both drafted as rookies. He’s hard to bring down, but we’ll be doing our best this weekend. I definitely want to win, just like he does, and I’m looking forward to this game.

I was able to get a few sacks last week thanks to great preparation during the week and then great coverage by Champ Bailey, Chris Harris, Tony Carter and the rest of the secondary.

It all starts in practice, going against Orlando Franklin and Ryan Clady, those guys are real good and how you practice translates when you step on the field on Sunday.

Gig ‘em!

    Ya, you gotta do the superman sack dance!! Hey I have been a huge fan of yours all the way from college. What do you like to do on your free time? Keep up the hard work, your one of the best picks the Broncos have ever had in my opinion.

  3. baylinorcrush says:

    Maybe, big maybe, but considering the number 2 pick is the highest draft pick we have EVER made, it better have resulted in what some may feel might be our best pick ever.

    But here are some pretty darn good ones also picked with first picks and many would easily argue than any of those are just as good or better than the Miller pick might ever be:

    Merlin Olsen, 1962

    Floyd Little, 1967

    Randy Gradishar, 1974

    Louis Wright, 1975

    Dennis Smith, 1981

    Steve Atwater, 1989

    I mean our history goes back a long ways and Miller has only just scratched the surface, history will tell exactly where he stands among these giants, and if he moves to the Cowboys at the end of his contract, all bets are off, LOL.

    Sorry if this kind of sounded like a Bronco history lesson, just trying to keep things grounded and honest.

  4. baylinorcrush says:

    But I do love everything about how you play and how you conduct yourself Miller, keep up the good work!

    Von u gotta ddo the sack dance u and the d line were doin last year where u would chop your feet and pretend your “eating up” qbs with both hands

  6. baylinorcrush says:

    Freak, since you couldn’t get autographs at the hotel, the best place to get some is outside the stadium AFTER the game where they board their buses. That’s when they are done with work and more willing to sign, got a few that way.

  7. strandoftds82 says:

    Champ shuts down Steve Smith, which I think he will. We win this game with ease. BRONCOS 2012!!!

  8. oldsouthstander says:

    Bay: add Dick Butkus to the list of Bronco #1 draft picks.
    Flody Little in 1967 was the first #1 draft pick the Broncos actually signed.
    If Floyd hadn’t signed the Broncos would have either folded or moved to a different city. JE may be the best Bronco ever, but Floyd Little is the reason there is a Bronco history and rightfully deserves the title of “The Franchise”.

  9. baylinorcrush says:

    Hard to even consider Butkus with all due respect oldsouth:

    Butkus was drafted in the first round by both the Denver Broncos of the American Football League and his hometown team, the Chicago Bears of the NFL. He signed with the Bears and did not play professionally with any other team.

    GOOD JOB LAST WEEK..THIS WEEK PUT IT ON EM..GO BRONCOS AND VON HIT EM WITH A GANGNUM STYLE WITH A SACK…

  11. tnalen66 says:

    Broncos 24- Panthers 16. I do think its funny that Malarky leaves the Falcons and they are undefeated and their Offense is the best its ever been and now Jacksonville is the worst team in the NFL. I am so glad he snubbed us.

  12. sndvl says:

    Broncos Country Strong 2012!!!!!

  13. tlcat06 says:

    Keep eatin’ greedy, Von!!! (;

  14. tlcat06 says:

    Annnnnd I’m super stoked that your Aggies beat Bama!!!

  15. gwbushby says:

    Von, time to do the DESOTO SHUFFLE!!!!!

  16. gwbushby says:

    Broncos win easily 34-17!

  17. alaskanbronco06 says:

    We gotta force a turnover in this game from Cam. He cant mentally handle turning the ball over and has a losing record when he does. He only has 1 or 2 wins when he turns the ball over. (Note this was as of 3 or 4 weeks ago and cant remember the exact Numbers as they were then and even if I did I wouldnt know how they changed to now)

    I cant stand Cam Newton. Its a bad sign when your own teammates are questioning your leadership abilities. Cam a few weeks ago was pulled the last few minutes and pouted on the sideline. He has a lot of growing to do.

  18. Bronconasty says:

    When do DJ comeback?

  19. strandoftds82 says:

    I’d like to see Von get 3 sacks again.

  20. RH709 says:

    DJ comes back next week, as if it matters.

    Cam hangs on to the ball longer than any QB in the league. sack city for WMD.

  21. baylinorcrush says:

    When do DJ comeback?

  22. strandoftds82 says:

    Prediction: The Saints defeat the Falcons tomorrow!

  23. baylinorcrush says:

  24. baylinorcrush says:

    strand, so you are keeping your score prediction to yourself this time around?

  25. strandoftds82 says:

    You got it!

  26. baylinorcrush says:

    And sorry I didn’t mean to be nasty, LOL.

  27. baylinorcrush says:

    If I show you mine, will you show me yours?

  28. strandoftds82 says:

    Oh, all right! Prediction:
    Broncos 34
    Panthers 9

  29. strandoftds82 says:

    Hah, you are not being nasty, just messing around!

  30. baylinorcrush says:

  38. strandoftds82 says:
