Well this is sure going to fire things up, but guess who is #1 on this list.....

If they keep Damien Williams on the roster, and I think they will, I can see Miller dropping to 3rd on the depth chart. Miller just doesn't run with the strength and balance you need, goes down on contact too easy. Can't break tackles, hasn't shown vision in a ZBS which is critical and he still is inconsistent catching the ball. The only improvement I've seen so far is his pass blocking and it's not significant. I saw more from Williams' 35-yard return against the Cowboys then I saw from Miller all of last year.

Miller is a speed back. If the hole is there he will have a big gain. Moreno showed to be more elusive, better at breaking tackles and changing directions is small spaces...better vision too. Williams seems to have more leg drive, better ability to break tackles and by all accounts he's a better receiver than Miller. I see Miller slipping on this roster.
 
lol, okee doke

I'm done with Miller. He can't juke anyone, can't break contact, can barely pick up a blitz, can't catch very well, just kind of squirts forward for a yard or two after first contact. Yes, give him a gaping hole and he may house it, but he has to be able to create more than that.
 
this guy obviously made this list prior to saturday's game. if he had seen it then knowshon would've easily been #1 on the list.

miller did avg close to 5 ypc though, but knowshon is a beast.
 
From a fantasy standpoint the article is somewhat right. Now after the last game this may not be the best info.
Miller is going low in drafts so compared to the rest of the list he probably should be number one. Moreno is also a great value if he is healthy.
Morenio is a better back no doubt but he has been banged up.
 
Miller is just not a tough between the blockers type of runner.

He is an outside back.

If there is no one around who is close enough to really ding him he runs great, as soon as he sees potential for contact he seems to run differently.

He won't run to daylight, he runs to the edge of his blockers and takes a peek. :unsure:

I've always loved/missed Ricky. People hated. And everyone is entitled to live as they want.

Ricky had natural ability to make you move to the edge of your seat and jump to your feet when he touched the ball. Every time he touched the ball, an electricity filled the room. You just felt he was the one chance your team needed to win and that every play could go the distance.

He wasn't the fastest back ever but I think the excitement of his running style made each fan think they were on the field with him, running the yards... dishing out the hits and scoring TDs.

I think the truly elite and athletically god-like players have an energy and virgin passion about their play. A sense of invincibility that make them approach the game in a way few understand.

It's noticeable only when their life changes in such a way it makes them evaluate their own body and life.

You could see it in Ricky when he came back. He went from a bowling ball to more of a finesse runner. He simply didn't have that thunder hammer for hitting defenders out of his way. He was still fast, but it's like the drive was gone.

Much like when Bo got injured. Once a great warrior becomes human, either in mind or body, they become just another athlete.

I'm glad Ricky played for my team. I miss him.

Not even from a fantasy standpoint. Who do you think will get carries at the goal line? They gave those to Daniel Thomas last year, do you think Miller will get any this year with Moreno on the roster? Miller doesn't move the pile. Williams has shown more the Miller in goal line carries.

Im speaking compared to the rest of those players on the list. You can get Miller late in drafts and RB are at a premium

Did you see the way he actually churned his legs too? Miller never does that. I like Miller,, well I like all of our players, but he looked bad when Moreno started running.

Honestly I think Moreno gets most of them. It seems goal line carries are about hitting the right hole quickly, I think Moreno could do well at it as long as he doesn't run to the right of the center. I can't wait to see the line when Pouncey comes back!
 
Miller looks like he's got so much potential but he just... falls down with the slightest breeze. I was holding out hope for him for quite a while, but I've finally realized it's a bit unrealistic to expect him to suddenly learn how to not fall on his face at first contact after however many years of playing football he's had.
