First Lamar Miller got bigger. And then he got Shady.
With Bill Lazor running the offense, there’s a hope in Dolphins camp that Miller can play the role of LeSean “Shady” McCoy — the Eagles’ running back who was wildly productive during Lazor’s year with coach Chip Kelly in Philadelphia.
Count Miller among the hopeful. And he went straight to the source to find out how to make it happen.
In the days leading up to training camp, Miller sat down with the league’s leading rusher for advice on how to thrive in the system Lazor has brought from Philly to South Florida.
“He told me that the opportunity is great,” Miller said Sunday. “They always keep the defense on their toes. Once you get the ball, you’ve got to take advantage of the opportunity.”

Brian Flores when asked about tanking: “Again, no we’re not (tanking). We’re going to try to win every game. I think that’s disrespectful to even say that.”

Larry LittlesubscriberI have to admit that I had Miller written off. I thought he was never going to be anything more than a talented back who couldn't get it figured out. But, it sounds like the guy's head might be screwed on a little better than I thought.
Might. Be.
Maybe I'm wrong, and he has a chance of actually being pretty good. We shall see, Miller.
