          Here are the most interesting Miami Dolphins stories Friday from around the Web:

          • The Palm Beach Post writes Dolphins tailback Lamar Miller is finding his way in his third season.

          Morning take: Some players need time to develop. Miller has improved and is leading Miami’s running game. He’s on pace for his first 1,000-yard season.

          • The staff at the Sun Sentinel provide their predictions for Sunday’s Dolphins-Chargers game.

          Morning take: This could be a toss-up between two teams fighting for early playoff positioning. Miami won last season’s matchup, 20-16. Sunday’s game also should be close.

          • Sports Illustrated writes about former Dolphins tailback Ricky Williams, who said he retired in 2004 because of bad quarterbacking.

          Morning take: Miami has had inconsistent quarterbacking since Dan Marino retired following the 1999 season. Current Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill provides the best hope in a while for Miami to find its long-term solution.

          Morning take: McCain's foot ailment was a new injury for Miami on Thursday. His status is now up in the air for the San Diego game.
