Only Washington’s Alfred Morris (5.20) and Dallas’ DeMarco Murray (4.83) are averaging more yards per carry among running backs in the National Football League than Miller’s 4.81. He has rushed for 448 yards on 93 attempts with two touchdowns and also has 13 receptions for 72 yards, which has garnered him more confidence from offensive coordinator Mike Sherman in terms of getting more chances.

Miller had his first career 100-yard rushing game last Thursday night at home against the Cincinnati Bengals (16 rushes for 105 yards) and racked up 89 of those in the first half. One of those runs went for 41 yards before the Bengals’ Carlos Dunlap jarred the ball loose from behind, but he’s had runs of 49 and 30 yards this season that showed off his speed once he reaches the second level.



I think he is one of the bright spots on offense finally starting to run with authority and breaking a few tackles. The speed was always there
Monday night his opposite will be Mike James of the Bucs who was his teammate in college
Looking for another big game as i'm thinking our O line will be much better at run blocking than pro pass protection.

thoughts ?
 
he'll be balling next year behind the Great Wall of China we build for him through the 2014 draft.

get your corn ready.
 
An explosive player who needs to get the ball more and in more varied ways.
 
I'm impressed with how Miller has been playing. And I think we finally figured out we need to feed him the ball at least 20+ times a game. I'm excited to see how he does the last half of the season.
 
He needs 20 touches a night, that shouldn't even be up for discussion. Big fan, great vision (except that 1 in Cincy...) and just a quality 1 cut runner with really great speed. Looking forward to us complimenting him with a real bruiser.
 
i liked how he was getting to the edge last game. He turns the corner with a few blockers in front and it's see ya.
 
Miller is a beast yes he goes down a little too easy but he finds the hole and gets 5 yards every touch. good vision and speed
 
I asked him to sign my hat for a reason.
 
I really like his vision through the hole, but he does seem to lack open field instincts, maybe that comes with more experience. He appears to be getting better by the week, especially in his ability to catch, I think he becomes a 20+ carry back starting Monday night!

When he fumbled was he running in the direction of the huge LED big screen? I see players on other teams looking into those big screens to see how far in front or who's coming behind them, wonder if LM looked up there or if he even thought about it?

Yeah I totally agree. If he starts powering through tackles like he is capable of, he will really look a lot like that guy in your avatar. Minus the dreads of course. I am really excited about Millers potential. I think he could be a top 5 back in this league.
 
I like Miller...hope he can get at least 1000 yards this year. Sherman needs to give him 20 touches a game or someone should lock Sherman in a room once the game starts.

Lamar turns the corner really fast, and makes great cuts....he's not as physical as I thought he would be but I think he can be a solid back. Definitely worth his draft status.
 
What has really been impressive to me is he's doing it with a makeshift O line and Egnew as his lead blocker.
 
I can't believe we don't run more. With his avg run it til they stop it. I love tannehill and want him to air it out, but I love wins more. I also would love to see playaction first play and go deep to wallace. Even with all this crap going I can't wait for mondau and I hope we drop 50 pn tampa. At least I can hope.
