From a fantasy perspective, I think the biggest concern I have with Miller is that I don't expect him to get goal-line carries. But they did keep him in for the first third-down opportunity they had tonight, which supports the notion that's been coming out of Miami about how he could be a three-down back as soon as this season. Philbin recently praised the progress he's made in pass protection since he became a Dolphin, and I think he'll surprise some people with his ability as a pass receiver.
I thought Miller dropped in the draft because of his knees
Miller easily has the most talent of the group. I really like Gillislee though. He is just a great all around back. He may not do anything great but he does everything well.
Nope, Miller's knees are fine. He underwent shoulder surgery roughly four months prior to the 2012 draft, which raised medical red flags and caused him to plummet. He played through the injury throughout his sophomore season.
but why isn't there a scrimmage to take it's place? I know teams didn't want to come to Albany (or at least that was the explanation), but other than the Jets (who I wouldn't go near after the last time), you'd think there'd be teams that would go to the Quest (as long as we had a return the next year to their place for scrimmage.)
I'd rather the pre-season be 2 scrimmages and 2 games,anyway. Less chance of injuries, and they would get more work in. It's not like the first 2 games are watchable, anyway.
not surprised in LT because he's a putz, but I'm surprised that you are so shocked that there's no switch that just turns on and off when a player I liked/hated in college gets drafted by a team I like/dislike. Lets not pretend that I'm rooting for the Cowboys here. There is a clear difference. And it really isn't a big deal either way. Surprised your panties are all up in a twist about this.
the Dallas defense is flying to the ball. I still don't think this style fits their players but they look good so far. Lets see how good they are stopping the run which is one of the negatives about the Tampa 2. On top of that, I still like our weapons against them. We will see though.
I don't care if you want him to do well... that's your right.
For Dallas I think the key is the health of Lee and Carter. Both are extremely athletic and I think fit well with the system. Seeing the hustle by the Dallas D and flying to the football is concerning. But I do think Dallas's DL is too weak.
gave up a few big runs but overall they are shutting down most of anything the Dolphins are throwing at them. its like the 2008 Giants offense they are running though. we are light years past that. thats why i look forward to eli going 15-18 yards downfield routinely on these clowns -- i dont think they'll have an answer.

I'm sorry if that offends your apparently oh so delicate sensibilities.
Lawlz.
But yea, you suck.
Translation: Eli who?
I also think it's safe to assume that I'm probably not overly serious around here.. like.. ever.
So.. don't worry about my panties. They're still nice and in place.
At least you're making an impression?

Jon, I've had 5 people on MySpace, 2 on Facebook, 3 on Xinga, and 7 through a company chain mail saying how much you're a dickwad.
Bunch of scabs.
Hankins is a beast. I loved that pick.
