Von Miller: 'Queremos pessoas que querem ser broncos'

Von Millerunderstands why wide receiverEmmanuel Sanderswas shipped to the49ersand he’s fine with it.

It’s just business and it’s business that’s best for theBroncosfrom the pass rusher’s perspective.

“It’s part of the business,” Miller saidvia The Denver Post. “It was best for Emmanuel and it was best for the team. We’re going through a tough patch here [at 2-5]. We want to get it right. We want people that want to get it right with us. We want people who want to beBroncos.”

Perhaps it’s a subtle shot at Sanders for not wanting to be part of the Denver franchise and doing what’s best for it. Perhaps it’s Miller being a leader and aiming to set a tone. Maybe it’s both.

It would appear above all else that Miller is in for the long haul with theBroncoseven if they’re well on their way to missing the postseason for the fourth straight season since winning theSuper Bowl.

As Tuesday’s trade deadline draws near, it’s likely theBroncoswill continue to be sellers, but there is plenty of young talent still in Denver and Miller realizes it’s there or returning.

“We have a really good roster of young players,” he said. “We get [Bradley] Chubb back next year.”

It’s most certainly been an arduous season so far and Miller admitted as much, including from an individual standpoint as he’s tallied just 2.5 sacks. It’s the lowest total of his decorated career through the first seven games of a season.

“As tough as it to see 2.5 sacks for my fans, only imagine how I feel about it, coming into a season with the highest expectations you could probably think of,” Miller said.

High expectations haven’t been met, that’s for sure. But Miller, the face of the franchise, is ready to trudge forward and wantsBroncosthat want to beBroncos.
