He was underutilized in Miami and the coaching staff was a lot to blame for that but even when he got opportunities he didn't always make the most of it. His pass protection has improved over the years but he still needs more work. Often times he doesn't pick up the right guy to block or he simply doesn't execute it correctly. TannyHill :::Gruden voice::: was tied for being sacked 3rd most last year. Again, not all Lamar's fault but if he wants to be a true bellcow like he says he wants to be and be a 3 down back like Houston is paying him to be... He's gotta be better.
Miller is a fine player who has a nose for the End Zone. Blue just killed me, seeming to run into people on purpose to avoid scoring TDs.
(sorry double-post) I have to believe the Texans were also feeling they would not have a shot at Elliott at #22.
Fun times in Houston up ahead. Harden's balling, Astros are on a mission, and the Texans shock the NFL world.
He is underutilized in Miami but that's also the reason why he doesn't have much injuries. So there you go, every coin has 2 sides. He is kind of the back being a jack of all trade, almost no specific weakness on any particular area and overall above average in most area but not as dominate as you will expected. Being said that, that maybe just exactly this team needed. Compare to what TB paid Martin, this is a good deal for the Texans.
Really happy getting Miller. Runs forward, and with really good speed. Seems to be a good receiving RB which puts the ball in his hands in the open... looking forward to watching him breaking off big gains.

We should have just stuck with the BPG trio! Saved the money for next season cause we ain't winning **** this season.
Would like to see the contract structure here.. depending on his 2016 cap number, management could still have some room to add.
That's a pretty weird take, the Texans should be the favorites to win their division yet again this season.
just hit me who his voice reminds me of: <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9aofoBrFNdg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Blue is the weirdest open field runner I've ever seen. I'll never forget when he broke one open in the Chiefs game, then awkwardly tried to anticipate being caught from behind, then somehow got caught from the front.
