Liked what I saw. He'll get his td's at this volume. Would have like a few more passez
I still think Jones is the guy for 2016, and the Skins GM is known for putting together OL talent. They should be significantly better next year than they are currently. Most importantly, they have MANY other areas other than RB that need addressing.

Houston is a good one - he has the rushing/receiving versatility that O'Brien seems to like with his RBs.
Baltimore may go with Allen/Forsett.

What's crazy, through Millers ups and (mostly) downs this year he finishes, so far, as like the 7th or 8th best rb this year in my league for all active rbs in average fp/g. Just imagine if he was used appropriately all season...

Yep. Forgot Houston. That's a definite contender. They just need to draft a QB. I think Balt also goes with Allen/Forsett.

Looks fantastic tonight. The new offensive coordinator seems to be a good fit for him (and playing the Giants doesn't hurt).
He finishes up the fantasy playoffs at SD and home against Indy. I'm not sure there are many RBs I would rather have for the stretch run this season.

...and yet he gets zero touches for the rest of the half after the TD. Utter madness.

You forgetting about that sweet flee flicker?
Obviously nobody was fooled since they weren't expecting him to touch the ball.

I have no dog in the fight and I'm just utterly perplexed. He put the team on his back and seemed like the clear ticket to winning this game and yet MIA completely abandoned him. I feel like any other team would've forced NYG to stop him yet MIA did that job for them. So confusing.

He's still getting carries guys. Relax.

You people are being very greedy IMO. I mean the guy has 90 yards rushing and 2 TDs.
Tannehill has 38 pass attempts and Lamar Miller has 12 runs. This is not Brady and Blount.

lol just messing with you all. I'm going against Lamar and I'm in desperation mode right now!

no dog in the fight, but his lack of use in the second half is odd. he's got to be hurt.

First 20 minutes of the game:
7 carries for Miller, 69 yards, 2 TDs, Miami scores 14 points
Final 40 minutes of the game
5 carries for Miller, 20 yards, Miami scores 10 points
Insanity.
Throw out the FF angle... this coaching staff and/or Tannehill are simply too stupid to keep their jobs.

265 rushing attempts for the Dolphins this year. With Miller and Ajayi, they should be aiming at 30 runs per game not 20.
that's insane. if that is true about Tannehill audibling out of runs all the time... well, then he's dumb.

TEs Coach and then DBs coach and I think the special teams coach were all elevated to these spots. This is kind of like having the guy who cooks french fries real well suddenly come handle the books or be the GM. I think Campbell has done an admirable job but you're asking for a Ranger to do the work of an F-350, it has its limits.

I think you're right, and maybe I expect too much. Really I'm willing to cut a lot of slack given the circumstances. But what annoys me most is that the fry cook seems to have forgotten how to make fries. It's like they're trying too hard to reinvent offensive football when all they need to do to be more successful is run more of the simplest play in football, one that's been around for decades. Ironically, the 1972 Dolphins were in attendance. What more of a tribute could there be but to run the ball to a victory. And I don't even like Miami.

It is confusing how the interim coaches wouldn't just simplify the game and get the ball into the hands of their most consistently good player...just play smart football, run the ball a lot, play defense, and a mediocre coach can look better than he is depending on how the close games end up in the W/L column. Just get back to basics and do what your team does well if you're an interim coach desperate during an extended audition.

Only cost me between $110 and $500. 1.9 point loss, though I can also thank Gronk playing at 8:30 instead of 1:00 (cost me 6 pts) and Jacksonvilles inexplicable end of game 4th down QB sneak td while up 28 points (facing Bortles).His lack of use in the second half cost me somewhere between $500 and $1000. 21 yards or two catches for 11 yards.:(
5 touches in final 40 minutes. Very frustrating loss.

For Miller's sake and FF dynasty/keeper league owners, you may be right. The problem is that the league devalues RBs nowadays, so there's no guarantee a team will throw enough money at him to be the bellcow. Could be part of an RBBC for all we know. Guys like Forte and Morris are probably facing similar issues.
As for last night, sometimes we FF guys erroneously think we know better than coaches, but I don't think anyone in their right mind could see why you wouldn't ride the hot hand like Miller in a tight game. And this after the team said after changing their OC that they needed to re-commit to the run.

Miller is 24 so I'm not sure AlMo or Forte is a comp. 5.1 YPC the last two years with 15 rushing TDs.
That is going to get paid in about four months.

I would think #1 if they were so stupid from the beginning.smoke monster said:
They may even be able to coax him back since he is from the area. If so, I will trade him away as they have a proven track record of incompetence.
Grab lead with Miller, piss away lead with Tannehill.
I am starting to wonder if Tannehill is in fact part of the problem as far as changing the play to try and show people that he can win games with his arm. Where there is smoke there is fire and the incidents with the PS players picking him off isn't something someone just makes up out of the blue. I think this guy wants to carry the team and he keeps trying to and keeps costing the team wins. If so, he needs reigned in and told to flat out run the play called.

From a dynasty perspective I've been counting down the days until he can bail this dumpster fire but a few plugged in folks on Twitter last night sounded like he was coming back to Miami.
If so,

The Dolphins really are the dumbest team in football. "Hey guys, our RB is gashing their defense and looks really good. Let's just not give him the ball in the 2nd half when it's a close game!"
How does his last touch come with 11 minutes left in the game?
A third of his touches game on their 1st TD drive where he ran it in. Nah, we don't need to give him the ball more.

They definitely are not smart enough to say, 'let's not wear him out and if we lose we get a better draft pick'. They have not shown a history of being smart.
