I feel like there's always things I can fix."
"He's been doing a great job getting adjusted to the NFL (and) ... learning his assignments and just going out there and playing fast,Cheap NFL Jerseys China," Miller said. "I think he's been doing a great job in practice and ... he just has to keep getting better."
