Is going to step in at RG and be a better run blocker then a guy that is 6'3 and 315 pounds and much more of a physical player then Boling. Just switch him to the other side of the line which I don't think he has ever played on the right side of the oline in his college or NFL career for a very good reason...But yeah lets just pencil him in there cause it looks good on paper.
Because...
John Miller is a TERRIBLE run blocker. Last year was his best year in the NFL, and he was a terrible run blocker:
'Overall, Miller was Pro Football Focus’ 25th best offensive guard in the NFL with an overall grade of 64.3. Like much of the Bills’ offensive line, he was, at minimum, average at pass blocking, but struggled as a run blocker. His pass-block grade was 71.4 while his run-block grade was 56.8.'
