Analysis: Miller is explosive, but so is Reggie Bush. Miller will have a tough time seeing the field considering how similar his skillset is to the incumbent starter's. Should anything happen to Bush, however, there's a good chance that Miller could leapfrog Thomas on the depth chart. Thomas has been rather disappointing in his short time with the Dolphins. He appears to be the short-yardage back, but it's difficult to see his role expanding much.
