The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... Brock Osweiler predictably earned all the attention Wednesday after signing a $72 million contract with the Texans, but the quarterback was not the only big addition to Bill O'Brien's offense. Miller is slotted to replace Arian Foster as Houston's workhorse. "The Texans are getting a home-run hitter, a guy who can make a play anywhere on the field and a guy who can protect the quarterback," Miller said.

Diehards Line:The newcomer added: "I'm excited to be a part of the Texans family. I just feel good to get this huge opportunity. I've been putting in all of this hard work and doing this ever since I was a little kid, and now it's all paying off. It's a great day. ..." The Texans saw that home-run hitter in person last year, when Houston's D couldn't corral Miller in a Week 7 loss. The running back went off for 175 yards on 14 carries, including an 85-yard touchdown run that day. The biggest question for Miller is whether he can handle a heavy workload. Entering free agency the soon-to-be 25-year-old tailback insisted that he wanted a chance to be a 20-carry-a-game runner. Multiple coaching staffs in Miami deemed Miller's frame too slight for that kind of heft. He should get the chance in Houston to prove those coaches wrong.
