Could Lamar Miller be the answer at running back for Miami?


By: Michael Tellier

When I heard that Reggie Bush had left Miami I tried to figure out who they would try to pick up to replace him.  I never thought that they would ever consider Lamar Miller as their starter.  But considering the fact that he averaged 4.9 yards per carry on 51 attempts, Miller could be a decent fit for Miami.

Even though Miller is only going in to his second season in the NFL I think he could have a very productive season; and so does a few others who have worked out with him this summer.

Miller has been learning a lot from San Francisco 49ers RB Frank Gore in the offseason at Bommarito Performance Systems in North Miami Beach.  Bommarito has trained many backs over several years including Maurice Jones-Drew; however, Miller has left a lasting impression on him: "He's the fastest running back I've ever seen."

Miller may not get the Dolphins the yards that Bush did, at least not right away.  But I do think that It’s a good move trying to develop their young players.  So in the long run this might turn out to be a very smart move.
