The NFL Has NO Answer For Him Right Now... / MAJOR INJURY UPDATES

The NFL has no answer for him right now as this player on the Texans is currently leading defensive player of the year conversations. That along with some new injury updates and who's expected to play this Sunday in a big week seven matchup. What's up ladies and gentlemen welcome back to Texans Digest. I'm your host as always Isaac Estrada. Man we got a lot we need to talk about today. I want to spotlight a specific player who we all know and we want to talk about today on being possibly the defensive player of the year. That along with some injury updates we have and we're also going to dive into the Tankdale returning situation so right before we dive into all that man about 90 percent of you guys still not subscribed we are on the road man to 4,000 subscribers on this channel that is insane to even say out loud but regardless if you are subscribed or unsubscribed i appreciate you for watching this video man let's not waste any more time let's dive right into it so as we all knew we all knew who was going to be let's not lie here Will Anderson Jr. leads the NFL in pressures and sacks he's on a career best pace so far Will Anderson Jr. has had a phenomenal season so far obviously I know against the Jacksonville Jaguars he didn't record a single sack I don't think that's all that matters we obviously know take a look back at Will Anderson Jr.'s rookie year where he thrived the most was getting pressures and I think this season obviously he leads the league in pressures but last last week I think that's where he thrived at the most we don't always need Will Anderson Jr. to get a three sack game in order to make an impact obviously he thrives in the pressures as well something I want to dive into this one coming from Jacob Brazil on X Will Anderson Jr. leads the NFL with 37 pressures 7.5 sacks and 18 quick pressures this season via Next Gen Stats, absolutely insane Anderson has the fastest time of pressure in his career so far within 2.55 seconds after that ball is getting snapped on a guy who plays over 75% of defensive snaps, we're going to take a look at it here in a second because that is a fact he is getting there within 2.55 seconds and also is converting his pressures into a sack at a career rate of 20.3, that is the insane part about this, that is why i wanted to highlight this video is because long as we have Will Anderson Jr. on that defense, this defense is always going to have a chance in my opinion, one let's say he gets four five pressures because Will Anderson Jr. has 37 on the season, for every five pressures he has one of those is going to be a sack statistically speaking, that is an insane number to look at man and having Will Anderson Jr. on this defense we're always going to have a chance and i wanted to start off this video by just highlighting it I feel like everyone's talking about how good CJ Stroud's been and CJ Stroud deserves the credit because this offense has been rolling but because this defense is still going to backslide a lot of people aren't willing to take a look at Will Anderson Jr. and understand how good he's doing this season how he's at a career pace, something I want to take a look at really quickly, put it on the graphics Will Anderson Jr.'s rookie year seven sacks in 15 games, in the first 60 games he's already surpassed that amount of sacks. Not only that, 28 tackles, 16 solo tackles, 12 assisted tackles this season alone. He's on a career pace and dare I even say generational pace. Will Anderson Jr. is looking phenomenal. 1.25 sacks a game. Imagine if he would have gotten a sack in his last game how much more different we'd be talking about it. The fact that we are approaching Week Seven and Will Anderson Jr. is 2.5 sacks away from already hitting double digits in sacks is insane And sacks don't account for everything. As we talked about it sacks do not account for everything because he's on a career pace with pressures as well, that is an insane stat to look at guys I just want to bring to light how insane it is how a career pace this guy is on how insane it is to already say that so just wanted to give him a little bit of spotlight and as promised look at the second number right there obviously we'll talk about the first one but the first one it holds a little bit less weight quarterbacks have to know where he is on every snap he has eight sacks 7.5 against the league medium of zero of players who have played as much obviously if we look at the top players they have more than zero sacks in his position i know that he's on this is what i wanted to look at he's on the field for almost every defensive snap 78 of the team's defensive snaps he is on for a defensive end that is insane look at this 50 for the league medium defensive end Will Anderson Jr let's look at the medium for the defensive end he's 25 over 25 above that 28 above that league medium is insane And he's on the ball. He's around the ball in almost every single play. He has 828 tackles against a league medium of five among players who play as much. That is insane. And I just wanted to take a second. I say a second. We've already been going for four minutes talking about this dude. To just show him some credit. Just show him some credit. This defense has had its struggles this year. The offense is finally getting going. Nick Haley. CJ Stroud. That offense is finally getting going. But regardless if D'Amico Ryans was the defensive coordinator or not. Will Anderson Jr. has been balling this year. And I think we need to talk about it just a little bit more. But on to the next news, man. So this one, some big news, which you guys all wanted to hear. Aziz Al-Shair launched second straight practice on track for Sunday's game versus the Giants. So Aziz, we know he was dealing with injuries, but he's back at practice, something we're going to dive into right here. So this one coming from Aaron Wilson. Obviously, you guys know Aaron Wilson on the practice, a squad on the practice every single day for the Houston Texans. This is what he had to say. Second consecutive practice for Texans Pro Bowl middle linebacker Aziz Al-Shair. Obviously, he's been dealing with a knee injury. He's all set to go Sunday versus the Giants and tight end Dalton Schultz's quad as well. They're both going to play. But I want to specifically highlight Aziz because when Aziz is on the field, man, he's going to change it. He's going to change it and we're going to look at the key insights here. He's around the ball in almost every single play. He has 49 tackles on the season against the league median of five. Again, look at top players at his position like Aziz. They have more than five. This is the league median for everyone who's on the field, I would imagine. Who's everyone who's played six games. he's on the field for almost every defensive snap this one is the insane part for linebackers because obviously when we talk about defensive ends we're talking about we're talking about Will Anderson Jr he's getting pressures every single game but it's different for linebackers linebackers are on the field more 92% of the team's defensive snaps he's on the field for against the league median about 54% for linebackers and like we said availability is the best ability and not only does Aziz play at such a high level he's not one of those linebackers that's on the field for 90% of the time but he's not doing jack squat I think it's great as well to have him back on the field. Obviously a great leader. So having Aziz back is some phenomenal news. Something else I want to talk about. We're going to cap off this video on a bit of a sweet note. But something I do want to talk about. Tank Dell. Coming back from injury this Sunday. I know we're all thinking, what should we expect from Tank Dell? Something I want to dive into really quickly is that Tank Dell is still human. He took almost two years off of layoff due to that knee injury that he suffered at Arrowhead a few years back in 2024. Tank Dell, man. this is one of those crazy stories that we look at and we say hey hardly ever do we see a player miss two years of action and come back and he's still on the same team and he's still considered a starting caliber player we're looking at that with Tank Dell a lot of people have written this guy off and I've even seen the comments I've seen the comments some people are saying hey with such a stacked wide receiver room does Tank Dell even have a place on this team yes Tank Dell is always going to have a place on this team let's take a look here this is what Tank Dell had to say when talking to the media following that injury he's grateful thankful it was a traumatic injury I know it's very short and sweet and to the point I just very quickly wanted to highlight that in today's news video because having Tank Dell come back from such a dramatic injury is insane man and Houston Texans are no see are no no slouches to understanding the effects of of serious traumatic events John Meeks came back from freaking cancer man that guy is a baller obviously not on this team anymore playing for the Carolina Panthers but I think the same way we got behind our players in the past we need to get behind Tank Dell and understand that he's going to have a breakout he still has a lot of momentum man I don't care if this receiver record has four other receivers who have proven themselves Tank Dell is always going to have a spot on this team man but that is all the news we have today on Texans Digest. They have a big game this Sunday man, big game this Sunday versus the Giants I think this defense is going to demolish JJ McCarthy I don't think JJ stands a chance against this defense I think they're just going to outperform him from start to finish. JJ's good, man. JJ's solid. People want to talk about how he had 200 plus passing yards in one quarter in 11 minutes of play. Let's dissect that a little bit. It was in garbage time. Obviously, they knew they were going to lose already. It was in garbage time. Sure, JJ was slinging it around, getting it going. I don't think he's going to do that against the Texans defense. I don't think he's going to do that against the guy who's leading the league, who's leading the NFL when it comes to defensive player of the year opportunities. I don't think JJ's going to have that same kind of opportunity I think this offense is going to put pedal to the mental and outwork the Giants offense, they're going to keep them in a momentum where they're constantly behind and having to keep up and I have full faith in this team and I think this team is going to have another great win and we're going to be one step closer to getting out of the dirt, started off the season 0-4, we're starting to get out of the dirt and I can't wait to see it this Sunday man, so thank you guys so much for watching today on Texans Digest, have a great day, have a blessed day I'll see you guys tomorrow
