Someone in a previous thread (Lynch vs. Forte) suggested that a better thread would be Miller vs. Martin. Both are FA's and under 26. With that in mind, who do you take?
Lamar Miller would fit our offense far better than Martin. He's never had under 4 YPC, and this is behind a pretty mediocre run blocking line.
Lamar is like Lesean McCoy he will run wel behind a mediocre line, speed kills, that juke against the Giants was beautiful. I'd take either or. Scheme wise of course Lamar but the Martin has much to like as well especially the power.
One of the main reasons I liked Murray so much is his patience behind the line along with his stop and start speed. Miller displays just that but has a little more speed and even better cuts. I think Miami is wasting him slightly, they should be having him running the ball down defenses throats.
Miami will resign him.
They seem to be working Ajayi in already. Not saying they can't use both, but it's a lot more likely for a team to let a guy walk when they have a young guy they like behind him making peanuts.
I wouldn't hate either, but I would rather draft a long term starter. We are going to begin spending big cap resourses soon with Fredericks extention (whenever they decide to do it) and with Martin and Collins following in the coming years. Id rather not tie cap resourses to FA starters. Although signing a Miller or Martin might not hurt our ability to keep lineman
