HOUSTON -- The big news of Houstons offseason was the signing of quarterback Brock Osweiler.But as the Texans make a final push to win their second straight AFC South title, their most important offseason acquisition has proven to be Lamar Miller, whose work has kept the offense afloat despite Osweilers struggles.Miller ran for 107 yards and a touchdown to help Houston beat Indianapolis last week and give him 1,000 yards rushing for the second time in his career.He needs just 90 yards rushing against Jacksonville on Sunday to eclipse his career high of 1,099 yards he set in 2014 with the Dolphins.Hes been great, left tackle Duane Brown said. Im happy to be a part of it ... he runs so hard. Im glad hes on our team and Im looking forward to racking up a few more yards in the next few weeks.The 25-year-old Miller signed a four-year, $26 million contract with the Texans this offseason after spending his first four seasons with the Dolphins.He had some good seasons for Miami, piling up 2,930 yards in his time there.But his carries were somewhat limited and some wondered if hed be able to handle a bigger load in Houston.Those fears turned out to be unfounded as Miller had 28 carries in Houstons opener and had more than 20 carries in each of the next two games. He surpassed his previous career high of 196 carries two weeks ago, and ranks sixth in the NFL with 246 carries.Miller never doubted that he was capable of carrying a bigger load.I always have confidence in myself, he said. Ive been playing running back my whole life so of course I feel like I can carry the load. So thats part of the reason I came here, just so I could get that workload and help this team win.Houston was in need of a featured back after it cut ties with franchise leading rusher Arian Foster in March after a season where he played just four games before suffering a season-ending Achilles tendon injury.Miller has run for at least 100 yards in a career-high four games this season and his 1,010 yards rushing rank sixth in the NFL.Hes continued to be productive and hasnt missed a game this season despite dealing with injuries to his ribs, shoulder and ankle.Hes a very tough guy ... hes got a very workmanlike approach to his job, coach Bill OBrien said.Hes attentive in meetings. He rarely makes a mistake out on the field. Very dependable player. A guy that plays when hes banged up. Plays when he probably doesnt really feel like playing or practicing. Thats the mark of a really good pro and hes brought a lot to our team.While Houstons passing game ranks 30th in the NFL by averaging just 190 yards a game, Millers work has given the Texans one of the best rushing games in the league.Houston averages 126.1 yards rushing a game, which is fifth in the NFL. Miller and the Texans take pride in their ability to run the ball in an era where so much emphasis is placed on winning games through the air.Thats our mentality -- smash-mouth football, Miller said. We have the offensive line to do it and we have the running backs to do it as well so we just try to go out there and just keep the chain moving any way possible.Miller is also quick to give the offensive line credit for a lot of his success and promised he has something special planned for the big guys at the end of the season.Its a secret right now, but Im going to do a little something, he said.
