It's speculative of course but it's worrisome. I expect Miller to put in a lot of effort when he gets back. He should be thoroughly embarrassed and humbled by his suspension. What he did was pretty stupid and, as far as I'm concerned, he needs to prove he's worthy all over again. He's one **** up away from a one year suspension. The team has to be considering that.

Champ is not Champ of even 5 years ago. Sure he'll help but they can't run him like some of the schemes they used to do where he basically covered 1/3 of the backfield, and other guys could be free to get creative and you had Lynch and other DBs to roll coverage over if teams tried to flood a couple routes and draw him on the deep go or streak route to take the underneath drag or cross or bubble screens.
