Von Miller describes himself and Peyton Manning as screws

We’ve known Broncos linebacker Von Miller might have had a screw loose for some time.

But he said he’s not the only unattached piece of hardware in the Broncos locker room.

I think we’ve got some loose screws in the locker room,” Miller said, via Mark Kiszla of the Denver Post. “It’s just a good balance of magnets and screws. You’ve got the guys that keep everybody together and you’ve got the screws loose.”

When it was suggested that quarterback Peyton Manning might be the magnet that holds his team together, Miller disagreed.

“Manning’s a screw,” he said, without specifying Phillips head or flat.

Of course, it’s hard to tell with Miller, who wears his individuality proudly.
“You guys think I’m nuts,” Miller said. “That’s cool. Everybody’s entitled to their own opinion. On defense, you kind of have to have a screw loose. It’s definitely good at some times.”

Perhaps, but it would help the Broncos even more if Miller were healthy and available, after tearing his ACL and being suspended for six games last season.
