The Dolphins said they were going to rotate running backs for Week 1 at Cleveland with Lamar Miller and Daniel Thomas, and they did. They just didn't do it with any success.
Miller had 10 carries for 3 yards and one catch for 7 yards on one target. And Thomas had eight carries for 14 yards and a touchdown and one catch for 5 yards on one target.
The Browns run defense is improved this eason, but this is a mess for the Dolphins. They need to establish one rusher -- it should be Miller -- and give that player the chance to get going.
The Dolphins play at the Colts in Week 2, and we hope Miller can do something to prove his worth. He should only be used as a flex option at best because right now you can't trust him. As for Thomas, the touchdown was nice, but he's not talented enough to be a featured option.
I still believe in Miller, but this Week 1 performance was extremely disappointing.
