Right. And to your point, was it 2011 when the Saints ran out of options at RB and they couldn't run the ball any longer--therefore not making it to their 2nd Superbowl?

Vernon Davis was covered by our RBs?

Harper and Jenkins might've done better at RB than at Safety that day...

The locals (Dallas/Ft. Worth) up here did an analysis of all of the recent TCU draft picks (8) & a few things that caught my interest when they spoke about Miller ...

He didn't have to be "the" guy carrying the ball as a senior. So he's fresh.

His overall vision & ability to gain extra yards (avg 5.0 in 2022) AFTER his initial contact. IDK, maybe it's his jump-cut ability or quick decisiveness but he forced 71 (ranked 12th in NCAA) missed tackles.

Kendre just seems to be able to make defenders miss & was nice in the screen game. Dare I say shades of Pierre Thomas??

He could see the field as a rookie. Good luck at camp sir

I’m in a dynasty fantasy football league. We had our first all rookie draft yesterday. Nobody in our league had Miller ranked lower than the third best RB. Two others had him right behind Bijan. Without that injury he goes before Zach Charbonnet.

I bet this guy will be deadly with the screen pass

You might say that... see my post on the 2nd page of this thread;

"This guy is a good RB but this pick has me scratching my head a little. Aside from the obvious that Kamara will likely face some penalty, I am still on the fence with this move. Although when I watch him he reminds me a little of Pierre Thomas who is one of my favorite Saints backs. He also has a great average after contact."

Ahh, totally missed your post

Imagine if he excels in the screen game like Pierre.

Money.

His film looks good and he is a hard worker that his coaches speak highly of. We needed a RB and we got what looks like a good one that can block. I wonder how good is blitz pick up is? If he can pick up the blitz he'll see the field sooner.
