The Facts:
Despite the limited body of work, there is a quiet confidence around Dolphins camp that Miller is ready to break out. “He’s just so smooth,” Matt Moore said. “He’s different from Reggie Bush but can get similar results. His nature is go north and south, Reggie’s [style] was more to dance. And he has grabbed the leadership [reins].”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The team's enthusiasm for Miller and what he brings to the table dates back to last summer. "Lamar is a very fluid player," HC Joe Philbin said last May. "I think he has multiple skills, I don't think that he is just a runner, I think he is a guy that can catch the football, and [we will] move him around." Coaches believe Miller can deliver big plays. That's why the Palm Beach Post advised readers back in February -- before Bush was gone -- that the Dolphins expect big things out of Miller in his second year. So much so that Post staffer Ben Volin felt it was possible that even if Bush (who subsequently signed with the Lions) had returned this season, his role would have been limited by Miller's presence. Daniel Thomas and fifth-round draft pick Mike Gillislee will likely get some time, but Miller is the man Miami will ask to shoulder the load.
