'Gonna kick their (expletive)' though, says Broncos linebacke Von Miller

The Cardinals are 1-5, with the only win coming two weeks ago against the San Francisco 49ers.

Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller didn't mince words about what he expects against the Arizona Cardinals in Thursday night's game in Glendale, Ariz.

"I wouldn't say it's a must win but we're gonna kick their (expletive) though," Miller told reporters Tuesday. "Make sure you put that up there. We're gonna kick their (expletive). They're gonna get our best this week.''

Not normally a trash-talker, Miller repeated the phrase "kick their " multiple times during his press conference.

His comments come with the Broncos riding a four-game losing streak following a 2-0 start. The Cardinals are 1-5, with the only win coming two weeks ago against the San Francisco 49ers. Tension has surrounded both teams this week, with the job security of both head coaches emerging as a topic.

After Broncos general manager John Elway said Tuesday he hopes the team can "take a mentality into that Thursday night game where we're fighting for our lives," head coach Vance Joseph told reporters he feels like he's fighting for his job.

"Absolutely, absolutely," Joseph said. "That's every coach in this league every week. If you don't feel that way, you're missing something."

Meanwhile, Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks was asked about the job security of offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, whose unit ranks among the league's worst in almost every category.

"I would say all our jobs are in jeopardy, including mine, if we don't win," Wilks replied to reporters.
