Lamar Miller got only 7 carries vs the cowboys and 5 carries vs the jets. I get it with the jets, we were down big but why do we not utilize this guy out of the backfield, screens, etc. My biggest beef would be in the cowboys game. 1st drive-Miller run for 12, miller run for 9, tannehill pass, miller run for 2, then inc on 3rd down. Next drive all passes. Next drive, Jay Ajayi is in the game???? I get it, you wanna see what you have in this guy but Let lamar be your back, ajayi rushed for 1, then 18, then 3 and then tannehill threw a pick 6. Next drive down 7-0, miller run for 16, then pass for -1 but off holding, so 1st and 20, pass for 7, inc pass to miller, 3rd and 13 inc. to matthews (can not tell you how many times over the past few years we have been killed by a screen play in this position but we would not run that play, we will let other teams continue to run that on us). next drive, 1st incomplete, 2nd miller run for -1 and then 3rd down inc. I think that is 4 carries for miller in the 1st half and then he got 3 in the second half, AND THIS WAS A GAME WE WERE IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why do these coached feel such a need to throw the ball, if we run, control the clock it will only make tannehill better and give him more confidence. Can not tell you how much this is making me angry, i thought once Campbell got in here we would see miller getting at least 15 carries a game and 20+ touches a game. Please someone explain this to me???????

5 more weeks boys & girls & we can rid ourselves of this horrid coaching staff.
 
Um, because we were behind

maybe that might have something to do with it?

Possibly?

The defense held them for most of the 1st 3 quarters of that game, we simply could not compete on 3rd down when the offense was on the field.

It's been the same for most of the season. Losing Pouncey was HUGE, but there was no pulse before or AFTER at QB.
 
so then why doesnt campbell go up to lazor and say, look ****head i am going to shove this playbook straight up your a-hole if miller does not get 15 carries..............ok good talk

Yeah against Jets i said I got that one, we were down big, we were not down big against the cowboys, we were down 14 and scored on the next drive and then were never behind by more than 10 points, down by 10 you can still work on ball control and running the ball.....Not buying it(for the cowboys game)
 
We were in this game till the last minute of the 1st half and we still only ran it a hand full of times

Because Campbell has no say towards Lazor. Have to remember only a few weeks back Campbell was taking orders from Lazor. This whole thing is a disaster.
