I like the move though, he could give us a little spark as a blocker/receiver and short yardage runner and Moran Norris just seems washed up.

Is he even going to be on the active roster?

And we added a 30 year old WR reject on our practice squad?

He was a LB in college. So hopefully he has a nose for the ball when he is on ST. If he is active at all.

Special teams only. Though if he plays well this year maybe he can challenge Norris for the FB job next year.

Yeah, that WR pickup is a real head-scratcher.

Though to use a "Singletary-ism" I'm excited to see what Miller can do.

I belive the artice did say that he was promoted to take Taylor's place on special teams so most likely he will be active on gameday playing special teams. they probably won't use him in the offense to block though.

As for the WR, I also want to know why? Isnt there a o-lineman or a pass rusher out there they may want to develop or take a look at? Just plain weird.
