Miller's talent level plus mobility is nowhere near what Johnson brings to the table when healthy, and he made those plays against the Raiders because he wasn't blocked. Whether it was by design or because he was so slow of the line that it confused the guard doesn't really matter.

The point is that I think King is closer to getting the job than Miller, but both are behind Johnson, and not the least because of the monetary investment that the Saints made in him. The only way he doesn't make the roster on week 1 is if he isn't healthy enough to play, but he should be according to the assessment made when he hurt his calf.

I would also like to see Hall signed, but I guess 2 FBs is unlikely these days.

This could be his down fall..Miller probably beats him out..

Yeah, but he's supposed to be ready when the season starts. Miller is just too slow to be effective against first string O-Lines. Remember that Miller hasn't faced the first string guys, but against SF TJ did, and he played really well. If the Saints cut him, he'll be signed instantly by some other team and the Saints lose the almost 2M they payed him in signing bonuses.

Really?! I really haven't seen that in the games. King is faster than Miller, but Johnson is faster than both.

I'm just afraid of losing this guy to another team where he'll be a dominant DT, if not this year then in years to come. And this is where his worth really is for me, because he has great potential and all the things he could improve on with a year to play behind Rogers, Franklin and Ellis. The Saints might lose both Rogers and Franklin after this season, and then Johnson could step up as a replacement starter.

But I guess we'll find out later today what they decide to do.
