[2023 NFL Draft/1-3] Will Anderson Jr., EDGE, Alabama

I'm the kinda guy that wants everyone on this earth to do well. There are exceptions. For example, I want every player on every team that plays against the Texans to feel excruciating pain.

 

When an injury is being kept hush hush, not talked about at all is usually not good..Getting worried here…

 

Haven’t heard anything, has he been injured?

 

Exactly my point…Not sure when was the last time he even practiced but it’s been a while..All I see is no practice (ankle)…Remember, he also didn’t play against the Steelers..

 

Still not practicing, I’m telling you guys, something doesn’t feel right…I’m getting worried!

 

Seeing as we're talking about an ankle, it's ALMOST assured that there's no longterm risk. Patience. He'll be back.

 

Get him the Steph Curry ankle liners

 

It was Mark Jackson rubbing oil on Steph’s ankles that did it.

 

I know I’ve been obsessed with this topic but today they asked Demeco about Will, is he close to being ready, etc. Well, he gave nothing but “we’ll see, doing really good”

You could just sense there is something not right with WAJ…I’m officially worried as we really need to get off to a great start and get some wins early in the season while it’s somewhat soft before our schedule gets brutal…

 

Yeah, not having him to start the season would be a tough time because Autry is suspended. He would be a reasonable replacement. But if we are without both of those dudes, then it's pretty much all Hunter to get to the QB. He'll get double and triple teamed all game.

 

Can Barnett play on the left side. He has looked good. I’d be blitzing Pitre a lot, but AR could hurt us with his legs and Pitre may end up a spy.

 

hes expected to start against the colts. he's fine. Harris probably won't be available week 1

 

WTH, he was seriously playing much better on a bum ankle and on a limited snap end last season…

so disappointed in his play…

It’s time to step up WAJ!!!

 

He started off slow last year as well. Then the sacks started coming in bunches. I think it’s because the dline needs time to gel and rush as one. We have three starting interior lineman learning Demecos system.

Also, we’ve made every qb we’ve faced, except possible MVP Sam Arnold (I can’t believe this is actually a thing), look bad by rushing throws to avoid sacks. There’s enough of a sample size to say that our dline is making QBs see ghosts. That stuff is just as good as a sack but doesn’t show up in regular stats. The sacks will come eventually.

 

I'm not gonna lie. I expected Anderson and Hunter to have way more than 4 sacks combined after 5 games. There are a lot of guys with 4 or more sacks this year.

 

Autry comes back after next week. Should help

 

It seems the Texans didn’t value Jonathan Greenard as much as they should have.

Greenard and Cashman are looking like absolute steals by the Vikings.

 

I was really upset when we let them go. They were great players.
