ENGLEWOOD, Colo. —Two years after setting his sights on 30 sacks, Von Miller has tempered his expectations a bit.

Now 30 years old, Miller has set his sights on a more manageable goal.

He's OK with only 20.

If he can get there, he would be just 2.5 sacks short of the single-season record, and he'd put himself in position to perhaps make a run at the all-time sack record.

With 20 sacks next season, Miller would bump his career total to 118.5 regular-season sacks in nine seasons. The all-time record is 200, which Hall of Famer Bruce Smith reached after 19 seasons in the NFL.

Smith, who never recorded a 20-sack season, reached double-digit sacks in 13 of his 19 seasons.

As Miller enters 2019, he's yet to reach the halfway mark on his race for 200. But after recording double-digit sacks in seven of his first eight years, he could make a push if he can approach Smith's longevity.

And if he should push past his single-season high of 18.5 sacks — which he recorded in 2012 — he'd certainly do himself a favor in that attempt.

"I feel like I haven't even made it halfway yet," Miller said Wednesday. "I'm going on nine [seasons]. We had Bruce Smith at our pass-rush summit and I talked to him about it a little bit. He played 20 years and averaged 10 sacks a season. That's right where I'm at with it. Hopefully I can get one of those 20-sack seasons. If I can get one of those in, it'll put me ahead of the pace. I'm still feeling good. I told [Bradley] Chubb today, 'I'm old but I'm still good. I still feel good out there. I still look good, Chubb?' And he was like, 'Yes.'
