Rams WR/PR Nick Miller Suspended For PED

So much for those four pillars. St. Louis Rams wide receiver and punt returner Nick Miller received a four-game suspension for using performance enhancing substances, reports Jim Thomas of the Post-Dispatch.
Miller is the second player from the 2011 Rams to be suspended for PEDs. Fellow receiver Austin Pettis earned a four-game suspension in December 2011, missing the last two games of the season. Pettis' suspension will bleed over into the first two games of the regular season.
The Rams added Miller in October, mostly as a replacement on returns for Danny Amendola. Fans remember Miller for his 88-yard punt return touchdown in Week 12, a game the Rams ultimately lost, in part because they punted to Patrick Peterson, who also returned a punt for a touchdown, something he did with some frequency against the Rams last year.
Miller is under contract for the 2012 season, for a minimal salary. Making the team this year was already something of a stretch, to say the least, especially with Amendola and others returning to health.

This one bothers me..
I by no means condone PEDs and I’ve made my opinion on Pettis known but I hope this doesn’t cost Miller his chance. I liked him. He’s seen the endzone.. Best of luck to him.

Not a good thing...
to show a new regime along with a thin resume. Making the team just got a little harder.
Good Lord
You would think we could of at least pulled a few more wins. If you are going to use PED then at the least for the fans make it worth our while.
Just a man who loves football
Besides that one return he hasn't done much, seems it's the mediocre players getting caught
I give it a week till we read:

Somehow not only did he get on an NFL roster, but STARTED!
Must have been using something good

how can they test him in the off season?

The only thing comparable to a Rams win is a 49er loss!
Test was probably during regular season
but results are now coming out. After positive test, they send it to a independent lab to retest. It takes time.

Its a shame
If you do PEDs at least have a reason. Don’t suck before taking them and then still suck after words, our receivers even sucks at cheating!

Take them because they are desperate to stay on the team

I agree
this is exactly why there is a market for this stuff. Off season winter workouts, and trying to get an edge. There’s probably more PEDs flowing through the marginal players now than at any other time of the year.

Yeah people always thinks it's the good players taking them but it's actually the bad players who are more prone to it

Miller is getting dumped 95% sure
We’ll address return needs this offseason; Pettis is walking a thin line

Miller picking up blocking…!
He’s gonna go all the way….!!
Touchdown Rams!!!
A shame we still lost.

WTF jeff fisher
cut pettis and miller now. we cant have this!
Oy vey
This doesn’t bother me as much as Pettis.
I don’t think I’m alone in saying that I’ve developed this unfounded (ok, maybe a little) hatred for Pettis. The guy seems like he’s all talk, plus he’s a drama queen on twitter. I personally got blocked by him when I called him out on something haha.
What do you call a gay dinosaur?
Mega-sore-ass.
Stick a folk in him
he’s done!
RAMS RULE!

It doesn't piss me off as much as pettis because Miller has actually done something.
