Did Brit Miller make the team last night? | Page 4

I do not think that we have a practice squad, yet.

Got my answer from MM.

"47-Brit Miller: Entered at fullback late in first quarter after Keasey sustained broken arm. . . . He looked like he's been playing the position his entire life. (He was a linebacker at Illinois.) His blocking was good, and he caught two TDs passes. . . . Caught 3-yard scoring pass from Smith, and a 40-yarder from Huard, which included a nifty cutback inside the 5-yard line to reach the end zone."

We're not the only ones he's made an impression on.

I like this kid and hope he makes the team.

Brit Miller needs to continue his momentum against the Raiders. Especially if Moran Norris does not play. I would love to see him put Kirk Morrison on his a$$.

i doubt he even makes the practice squad. not too many fb's are kept their and i think the only reason keasey was kept was because he was also a special teams player. after the terrific preseason derrick johnson (CB) had with us a couple years back, theirs no hope for our preseason standouts

Info N/A

Yeah he showed great playmaker skills, but how was he at being a fullback. Did he blow any assignments? I really don't know just asking. I was pretty drunk by the forth and the only highlights are of him finding the endzone. I'm just curious to how complete he looked.

not sure about made the team but sure as hell opened the eyes of the coaches to keep an eye on him as a potential roster spot
