Tannehill Interview - Lamar Miller the RB right now...and more!
8 replies
Asked who the Dolphins' starting running back is, Tannehill replied without hesitation: "Lamar Miller right now. He's doing a great job this offseason, really has a great handle on the offense and he's doing a great job protecting. ... They can (all) run the ball but being able to understand the pass game, understand the checkdowns and where they're protecting really makes a big difference and makes me more comfortable."
Take it for what its worth...no contact practice yet, after all. Interesting little piece of information, none the less - and some other tidbits in the full video / text.
Also have to like a smart answer to the trap question at the end...not taking the bait haha.
Worst kept secret.
Surprised they even toss lip service toward the idea that there's really a competition for the top RB spot. Daniel Thomas is the only one that believes it.

Better than him being complacent. Don't get the criticism for Thomas' comments in regards to the competition.

Everybody uses more than one runningback now. Thomas and Gillislee both have an opportunity to get significant touches this year behind Lamar Miller.

In earlier threads I believe when his interview first came out, and my comment was not directed at you specifically.

If it was in Club, I criticized him not for the attitude but for the statements. Instead of being supportive of team mates, he was confrontational.
His facial expression when asked about the other three rookie quarter back was pretty telling...Ive had a bit of a hobby reading micro expressions for a couple of years and I caught a sneer...personally I like it 1 because he has a great persona on camera and 2 because he is competitive and concerned about how he is viewed/rated.
