Oakland Raiders kick-return specialist, #22 Justin Miller, has been named AFC special-teams player of the month (Dec-08).
He's may not be Usain Bolt,
Jamaican gold medal sprinter just named Athlete of the Year, but he sure looks faster than a speeding bullet while whizzing through opponent kickoff coverages for two touchdowns in December.
Miller, acquired from the New York Jets midway through the season, has given the Raiders special teams a knockout punch that compliments Johnnie Lee Higgins jabbing punt return success. Retaining both these young returners is almost as important as resigning punter Shane Lechler to a new contract. I beg the Raiders organization to not let the one phase of our team which showed consistent success this season, keeping us in some close games, leave the building. Please don't dismantle our Special Teams just when all three phases of our team is coming together.
Congratulations Justin Miller for forcing the league to recognize outstanding play by a Silver & Black clad soldier.
The December wind was a Raider
Blustering in from Sea
With a rollicking Song he swept along
Swaggering boisterously
