    Miller's job to lose. You don't let Bush walk unless you believe Miller is the answer

    Pouncey says he'll run for 1300 this year. We shall see.

    Needs to have four to five bills receiving to be the guy they want, and for him to secure the future, what's your take on his hands?

    I'm definitely drafting this guy in my fantasy football league. Won the last two years, so hopefully he will help make it 3 straight.

    I do like the fact that he worked out with Frank Gore this offseason. Gore's one of the most complete backs in the league in my opinion; very underrated. ALWAYS falls forward. Hopefully working with Gore taught Miller more than Hakeem Olajuwon taught Dwight Howard.

    They look decent to me, he should be fine on check downs and screens.

    Wish you could buy a new #26 jersey without having to customize it. I have a feeling if he can stay healthy, he'll have a great year.

    Gores hurt now so I hope he doesn't stop, it seems like he has a focus on weight and strength, and nothing but good can come with that..he's got really good feet and traffic, I like the way he keeps his eyes and head up at full speed, he doesn't lose speed as he cuts thru traffic.
     
  12. Pouncey says HE WILL RUN FOR 1300 ?? WOW, I thought Czonka was a beast in the backfield. :tongue2:

    He's obviously full of himself. Short yardage back at best :lol:

    I hope he is a pro bowler for years to come. 26 is my fav. number and we haven't had anyone decent wear it since...well yeah. Never really. Buckley suckley and I'm scared so I hit girls Phillips are the only two I can even think of.

    He looked good in his limited action last year, really hope he can carry the load for us this year.

    A switch to center may just be Daniel Thomas' best bet to make an impact on this team next season.

    Well, he is a risk, the pounding the league gives out is just brutal and I'm not 100% that he can withstand it.

    That said, would love to see him break Zonk's franchise rushing record as it really is not that much, 5,700 yds iirc.

    Gore is fine, to me I'd like to see him chat with Tomlinson as he was very resilient.

    Miller will top out as nothing more than a decent NFL back.

    I can handle decent as long as he is productive and helps the team make the playoffs... or were you being negative?

    He still had to speed up to be slow. And still nobody worth remembering wore 26.

    Lamar Smith was good on this day.

    You may not remember Jarvis Williams... RIP.

    That brought back memories but painful to watch since the recording was going every where.

    If he gets good blocking he will be a lot better than decent.

    I don't think how good the OL's run blocking was or how bad Reggie Bush was at running the ball has filtered down to everyone yet. Miller won't need to make herculean runs, he just needs to hit the holes when they are there and not lose 5 yards when they aren't. His vision, quickness and burst are all good, the only question in my mind is durability. If he stays healthy he can run for 1200 behind our line.

    In this offense with Tannehill I think Miller will be an excellent back. He won't be relied on as a workhorse. But, he can catch the ball and is explosive with blg plays in him as long as he stays healthy. He has near perfect size & speed (5'10.75, 218 and 4.4 speed). The more work he gets the better and he is still VERY young (just turned 22).

    I liked this scouting report from last year:

    If we can get a RB from the rest of the bunch who can spell him, we'll be okay. Really wish we'd have signed a vet but who knows ...

    Be nice to have another "Lamar" wearing 26 and leading the "Surprising Dolphins" again...

    Miller this time instead of Smith.
