Texans will sign Lamar Miller

Houston was fifth in rushing attempts in 2015 and first in 2014 under BOB. Lamar will do well

 

What the hell are you talking about? I'd be a LOT better at blocking than running.

 

Ahmen Green? Miller scored 42% of the time inside the 5 yard line touching the ball and the guy has been durable....plus he's 24 years old...youth rules the RB position..ask Foster

 

not like he couldn't have asked the team to give him a shorter deal. More about the tax break I bet.

 

Love this deal, young durable, low mileage, and really underutilized in Miami. Offense got a huge shot in the arm here.

 

The best even money deal, Foster for Miller, we could have done.

 

Most underrated signing. Best contract.

young, fast and barely even used.

exactly. I can't believe this thread is so short. Maybe there's nothing to complain about?

Miller was my #1 hope for the offseason. BOB and Goose love to run the ball even with our favorite plodder, Blue. Give Lamar all those carries and watch him roll

 

I like the guy, but I wonder about his IQ and thus football IQ. How can you leave all that $$$ on the table. He clearly won't be invited to join the Get Money Boys in Houston.

 

It's more fun to complain.

Solid signing.

 

I'm shocked so many of you guys are so easily excited about this signing. I figured you guys would be harder to impress when you had one of the best backs in the game over these years. Lamar is going to frustrate you guys. Dude has low IQ, can't catch **** out of the backfield, always looks for the big play instead of hitting the holes, doesn't fall forward on his runs and he can't pass block worth a lick. Should've spent the money elsewhere and picked a RB thru the draft. You can bookmark this thread for later. I'll happily eat crow if I'm wrong.

 

I highly doubt you could get a RB of Miller's caliber outside of Elliot and maybe Henry in the draft. Also the fins underutilized him and he still had almost 2,000 yards and 20 TDs the last 2 seasons combined.

 

Miller is one of the best backs in the league and he will be huge for us! He might just break Fosters franchise records he is that good.

Losing Brooks sucks but we can draft OL... In fact I'm hoping we do in the first this year.

 

"harder to impress" because of Arian? I'm not comparing him to Arian--that's the wrong bar. I'm comparing him to the alternative, which was another season of Blue for 1.5 yards. Barring a trade up for Elliott, I didn't expect them to draft someone who would come in and make a huge impact. And I was worried they'd get Ivory who might fall apart after another season.

I don't him to be Arian, but I do think he's very good and the best option they had for the next few years. I hope Grimes is back for passing downs if Miller is as bad pass-protecting as you say.

 

Do Asian Sensations watch football.

I was in Miami and cant get that long TD catch and run out of my mind.

The greatest RB in franchise history goes down and that's what you choose to remember?

Miller averaged about 3 catches a game for 8 yards and finished the season with 2 receiving TD's

#breakingrecords

 

That's because Miami underutilized him. Miller is good and is a top 5 back when he gets touches.
