RB Lamar Miller has been non-existent the first two weeks of the season. After all, a lot has happened in his life since he last played a football game at Sun Life Stadium. Let’s see if we’ll have this conversation at the end of the year.

The Colts, however, have company in 0-2 misery. Each question he fielded about the bullying scandal he was involved in with the Miami Dolphins – the one that kept him out of football for a year-and-a-half – was like a boxer taking a body shot. One sack. They are coming off a game in which they faced a Jaguars team that has allowed at least four sacks of the quarterback for eight straight games, and how many do the Dolphins get in the game?
This defensive unit can get after the ball, and lock up the receivers at the line scrimmage and everyone knew that even before Rex arrived in Buffalo.
They’ve underwhelmed, and that’s putting it kindly. Buffalo was tough for the Dolphins to beat before it became a good team like it is now or had the infamous Ryan pulling the strings. Suh, for what it’s worth, looks like a complete misfit in the Miami defense, if that’s possible. Although the offense has spurts of ineffectiveness, Tannehill has played well so far in the season. Buffalo had a busy offseason as they acquired explosive running back LeSean McCoy from the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for linebacker Kiko Alonso. He’s not sure whether Bills coach Rex Ryan will name him a captain for Week 3 as he has done with other players facing their former teams, but it’s something Incognito would welcome.
Incognito realizes the bullying scandal will likely never go away, as he told Mike Rodak of ESPN: “I would hope that we can move past all this”. “You could say it was going to be a dogfight for the Patriots and not get these amusing looks”. If the Bills continue to commit a high percentage of penalties, the Dolphins, like the Patriots did in week two, will surely take advantage of these miscues. They’ve got Oliver Vernon over there who I think is very good, solid ball player.
“When you go through stretches like that, it’s a confidence-builder”, Patriots Hall of Famer Troy Brown said yesterday at the Matt Light Celebrity Shoot-Out. Probably a little bit. You have to show some toughness, you have to make some big stops, make some big plays to get through it, and they did it, so when those times come around in the playoffs, you’ve been there, you’ve done that. “Because the one thing about a pass rush, you can tire guys out because it’s going to be hot”. Maybe it won’t. Right now, the schedule is looking pretty soft.
“No. That’s not me”, Clay said. It will be Incognito’s first time playing against the team that cast him aside following the incident. They were trying to find themselves.

Jake Stoneburner spent some time on the Green Bay practice squad before he came to the Miami Dolphins, which meant a lot of watching Aaron Rodgers work. “So we’ll see”.
