Thoughts on Thomas or Miller vs. the Pats defense

[dabeastdabone]

It appears Miller will be back this week but I'm not sure he should be more than a change of pace guy behind Thomas. The Pats defense is weak up the middle and Miller, to me, hasn't shown he has the ability to find the hole between the tackles quick enough to outperform Thomas who has had enough shinning moments this year to make me think he would be better suited to have a quality day vs the Patriots. Anyone have any thoughts on it or has there been any hints to the usage of them from the Dolphins?

Daniel Thomas is a known big time confidence player. He played one of his best games for the Dolphins last week, overcoming injury and the conditions to help us win the game. Since he is coming off a high, my inclination would be too give him the ball and see how he goes before calling on Miller's speed.

man with all the talk of Miller training with Gore in the offseason, i was expecting big things from him. Been a let down. Cant say its him or the blocking though, but i havent seen him make too many people miss.

Give Thomas the nod as the starter. Pats are weak up the middle with no Wilfork and we need to pound it up in between the tackles. Gotta have somewhat of a running game working so we can keep Brady off the field and keep their defense tired.

Miller has had enough chances this year, but he cant get the simple 2-4 yard run. Thomas can. As stated above, Miller should come in as the change of pace back. Bring him in after the defense is a bit worn out and we can use his speed effectively.

I like the "known confidence" description of Thomas. Love the roll of playmaking Thomas is on. It would be fantastic to see him play better and better ( he should be relatively fresh ) the next 3 wks.
