Noting that Miller has recently been nursing an ankle injury suffered on Oct. 21 on that ankle he has an issue last season & was IR'd. I see no reason to rush this aging veteran pass rusher back into HD action at any Rams front five positions. Rams are well-stocked at this point.
I posted on this same question right after the Miller trade was announced & there was really not much posted to directly answer this question then.
I would plan on utilizing Miller after the bye based on seeing how he is practicing with the first team DL/LB ing unit in various positions. Having healthy OLB'ers Floyd/ Lewis/ Okorankwo/ Garrett/ Lawler/ Jones provides the Rams to give Miller two extra weeks of nursing on that ankle & that is what I would do.
I would think that Miller would be part of keeping the Ram main pass rushers fresh as possible playing Miller all over the front five mixings and blending up the pass rush packages as much as possible. That would be my plan.
Good points. I didn't see explosive moves from Miller in just watching some highlights from this year. It will be interesting to see how much he plays. I was going to post that the Rams can gradually fit him in over the next few games. Like you say there is no reason to rush him in at this point.
At this point, it is hard to say where the Rams decide to play both Floyd and Miller . The Rams could move them back and forth to see what works best. Floyd may have the ability to play either side the same. He does have younger legs. Overall I think the Rams can keep him fresh with T Lew and Obo getting valuable PT.
