IMO, I think he will wind up being more like TJ Watt for us. That's not a bad thing.

Anymore on Martin signing?Anderson is going to thrive in this role. Can’t wait to watch him impact games this fall!
Anymore on Martin signing?
My personal preference is for him to be in a 2-pt stance. Most of his impact I saw in college came from that stance so the familiarity would help ease his transition to the NFL. I'm also a fan because it allows for better pre-snap vision and offers more flexibility in where he comes from post-snap. However if they're concerned with his leverage or bend then I can see where a 3-pt stance would work better. He has a thick lower body and he did both in college, but IMO, the 3pt stance will give more of an opportunity for NFL tackles to get more of their body on him. Either way, I hope they get it right.Anderson is going to thrive in this role. Can’t wait to watch him impact games this fall!
Rookie Stat Projections: Houston Texans EDGE Will Anderson Jr.

I try to be realistic especially after the last 3 seasons and all the stuff, but this time of year I feel the optimism and excitement starts to bubble. A good fart usually resolves that.I’d love to see that production. Would mean the rest of the defense is benefiting from the attention DeMeco’s new Bosa will be forced to receive.

Yes, but are you going to be calling him a bust if he only has 5 sacks and 7 TFL? Many in Houston will if they set their expectations at 11 and 14Great players exceed expectations. I see a great player.

If we’re going to win 10 games somebody has to get 11 sacks. Greenard can’t stay healthy, Hughes isn’t likely to do it again, it’s gotta be Will…Yes, but are you going to be calling him a bust if he only has 5 sacks and 7 TFL? Many in Houston will if they set their expectations at 11 and 14

If he doesn’t & we don’t win 10 games he’s a bust. Need to get him & Caserio dafuh outta here
I know you won't but you know many will, and unfortunately too many of those frequent this boardI don’t draw conclusions based on random stat lines. I’d like to think i’m not lumped in with the average mouth breather at this point in my Texans Talk career. I have a pretty consistent track record of letting the career play out organically before calling a duck a duck.

As. I have gotten older, I’ve learned to use that button a lot.I don’t care about “them”. There is an ignore button.

When I was a kid on a farm every time I entered the yard a hen would come running up like she had been waiting just for me. CLUCK,CLUCK..CLUCK CLUCK CLUCK! I guess trying to convince me she was the main critter in the yard. CLUCK,CLUCK..CLUCK CLUCK CLUCK! She would strut trying to imitate the yard roosters and once a day she'd lay an egg and then run all over clucking about this great event but often stepped on her own---- egg destroying the 'event'. My friend tolds me we should do away with that noisy old bird but hey she ate little and usually it was only her that stepped in her own crap sooner or later. The other farm animals just shook their heads and put up with
CLUCK,CLUCK..CLUCK CLUCK CLUCK!
As long as he's better than Travon WalkerBy the same token, Will Anderson also needs to be a top-10 DE because Houston gave away the farm to get him.

Interesting that Stingley goes #4 and Pitre makes it into the first roundSome drafts are better than others and the 2022 draft was seemingly lacking a standout, can't-miss, player. CBS did a "redraft" and dropped Walker to the 30th pick and moved Sauce Gardner to #1.

I wish there was an elevated philosophical motive to my desire. But alas... no. Jags drafted Walker last year, we drafted Anderson this year.

I've got high expectations since Caserio spent the Derrick draft booty on these 2 guys. Obviously they expect these guys to be difference makers right away. I expect 7-8 sacks from Anderson and Stroud to be a top 15 QB.Yes, but are you going to be calling him a bust if he only has 5 sacks and 7 TFL? Many in Houston will if they set their expectations at 11 and 14
Are you going to call Anderson a bust if he has 5-6 sacks his first year? Or Stroud if he is top 20?I've got high expectations since Caserio spent the Derrick draft booth on these 2 guys.

You forgot to mention incompetent, impatient ownership.Stroud will be a bust, Anderson joins Stingley in the rehab tent all season, Texans win four games, Casino is fired, followed by Ryans a year later.
Texans fulfill the wishes of the football gods and continue to suck.
Ryans then wins multiple SBs with someone else.
It's what the Texans do.
(Did I miss anything?)
Watt got 5.5 as a rookie and many good QBs look terrible in year 1, of course either player with those results as a rookie would go into their second season needing to take a step forward and likely with some questions, but I would also think that if Stroud is top 20 by any measure AND Anderson has been that productive then he Texans will likely have achieved a respectable W-L record.Are you going to call Anderson a bust if he has 5-6 sacks his first year?

I expect them both to excel, but if they don't meet the lofty expectations that the media is touting, many here will turn on them and call them busts and want Caserio and Ryans fired.

Good point on Watt. Some didn't like the draft pick and after that 5.5 rookie season, they labeled him a bust. Shoot, there were even posts on this forum that Mills was the best rookie QB in his class and was better than Lawrence. After that rookie year, would anyone still take Mills over Lawrence?Watt got 5.5 as a rookie and many good QBs look terrible in year 1, of course either player with those results as a rookie would go into their second season needing to take a step forward and likely with some questions, but I would also think that if Stroud is top 20 by any measure AND Anderson has been that productive then he Texans will likely have achieved a respectable W-L record.

okay, good for you.Who cares what random people on here say? I just want them to win. I don’t care whether the production comes from Mills or Stroud… or even Anderson or Greenard.
Yes sir totally agree here because Caserio shot his wad on young Mr Anderson so I will be disappointed with anything less than a double digit rookie season.I've got high expectations since Caserio spent the Derrick draft booth on these 2 guys. Obviously they expect these guys to be difference makers right away. I expect 7-8 sacks from Anderson and Stroud to be a top 15 QB.
I already want Caserio fired.I expect them both to excel, but if they don't meet the lofty expectations that the media is touting, many here will turn on them and call them busts and want Caserio and Ryans fired. It's what TexansTalk does
I remember Jj was just getting into his groove at the end of his rookie season. I don't recall anyone thinking he was a bustSome didn't like the draft pick and after that 5.5 rookie season, they labeled him a bust. Shoot,
I know. You don't have to say anything elseI already want Caserio fired.

No that’s the real deal. It looks complimentary, but he’s pushing it towards unrealistic setting up his tirade to come at a later date.I'm going to report this. I think someone hacked steel's account.
