The Facts: Two years ago, Miller averaged 14 carries and two catches for a career-high 1,099 rushing yards and 1,374 all-purpose yards and 11 touchdowns in Miami. He caught 38 passes for 275 yards. Miller is done pondering why he wasn't more involved in the Dolphins' offense. With the Texans, he is slated for a versatile role as an inside and outside running presence who figures to be a healthy part of the passing game. "I'm not really sure," Miller said when asked why he thought the Dolphins didn't use him more. "I'm just looking forward to this opportunity here with the Houston Texans, and I'm looking forward to the challenge."
Diehards Line:Miller said he never asked the Dolphins coaching staff, which has been replaced since Adam Gase's hiring as head coach (following the 2015 firing of Joe Philbin and interim hire of Dan Campbell), why he wasn't more of a focus in the offense. No matter now. As the replacement for four-time Pro Bowl running back Arian Foster, Miller is expected to be a key part of a reshaped offense led by Brock Osweiler and Pro Bowl wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. Miller averaged 12 carries and three catches last year for a total of 15 touches per game during his final season in Miami, generating 1,269 all-purpose yards and 10 touchdowns. He rushed for 872 yards and eight touchdowns and had 47 catches for 397 yards and two scores. Expect increases in all categories.
