Easygoer45 Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 MIAMI -- Can one strong preseason game supersede an entire offseason and training camp? That is the dilemma currently facing the Miami Dolphins with running backs Knowshon Moreno and incumbent starter Lamar Miller. Moreno Moreno made an impressive Miami debut Saturday night during a 25-20 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. He led all rushers with 64 yards on 10 carries (6.4-yard average). Moreno also showed good vision, burst and the ability to finish runs in his first game of 2014. These are things Miller struggled with this during the previous two preseason games.

Easygoer45 Posted August 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I think this is an easy decision, Moreno should start. Miller has worked hard all preseason to plateau at mediocre at best. Moreno wasn't fit to start camp, but he has worked to get fit and now is fit and played well in this week's game. Moreno has tons more upside and is already playing at a level higher than Miller will ever achieve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughy Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Absolutely, Moreno is better than Miller. He's bigger, fights for yards after contact, and is a very good pass blocker. Miller can't block and we all know Miami's line needs help. He also just seems to never break a tackle, I question his heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKolzig Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 yes former 12th overall pick. 27 years old is at his peak i have Miami +400 to make the playoffs and its true miller will be a step slower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Contrary to what I've read in some dumbass fantasy mags Moreno is UNDERRATED imo. Extremely explosive back, can break a game open at any moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoer45 Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 I think that Moreno will be a good fantasy value option, you can get him at an average draft position of about 108. Definitely worth a flyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monitor-Tan Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 He's a descent back but afraid of his injuries.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 I don't think the starting part is that important - get them both 10 carries and compare. Neither one should sit the bench or you are wasting talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
