The Texans Just Caught A MASSIVE Break...

The Houston Texans just caught a massive break as a star from the Jacksonville Jaguars is officially listed to miss this Sunday's game. How did the Texans approach this game now knowing this and what can this mean for a team that needs a huge win? 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. A star from the Jacksonville Jaguars is officially listed as out along with a few players from the Houston Texans man so we're going to dive into all that and more today on Texans digest but man very important announcement very important right before we dive into that man about ninety percent of you guys still not subscribed so do your boy a favor hit that subscribe button we're literally from the time i'm recording this we're roughly about 10 subscribers away from 3,000 people joining this channel so it would be greatly appreciated if you were to do so but regardless i thank you guys for watching man we got a lot we need to talk about today though so a star is officially out for the for the jacksonville jaguars we're going to dive into all that and more and how this affects the Houston Texans this Sunday so let's dive right into it man so Jacksonville Jaguars left tackle Anton Harrison is out versus the Texans Walker Little steps up to replace him so let's dive into the report we got from X so this is from Jacob Barzila Jaguar star left tackle Anton Harrison will officially miss this week versus the Texans if you guys have been keeping up you guys have been knowing for a while that this was coming he had gotten hurt recently and I think he's also going after they're going to pursue surgery for him they're looking at surgery for Anton Harrison and look who's going to step up Walker Little will replace Harrison who allowed 14 pressures in two games versus the Texans last season Texans could also be without key pieces such as Jalen Pryte and David Montgomery so we had heard about this before Jalen having that shoulder injury thankfully I don't think he's going to need surgery they had talked about it before thankfully Jalen is not going to need surgery so that should be okay he's considered week to week and David Montgomery in that last game against the Tennessee Titans pretty much everything went right for us the one thing that went wrong we lost David Montgomery he's suffering with a groin injury and I think he's considered also day-to-day or maybe week to week either way I wouldn't expect either of them to play this Sunday but that's some big news man not having Anton Harrison first thing I want to say obviously you hate to see a player go down in any capacity I'm not going to sit here and say hey thank gosh he's not going to play. No, no. You would hate to see a player go down in any capacity, but Anton Harrison not playing, there's a lot that means for the Houston Texans. There is a lot that means for the Houston Texans, something I want to talk about very quickly. Anton Harrison officially listed out on PFF. You can see it right here. Overall grade of 68.8, pass block 67, run block 70. He's been a part of the Jacksonville Jaguars since 2023, obviously starting to get to that point where he's a well-experienced player. What I really want to dive deep into is what does this mean for this Houston Texans defense that's already on a roll this Houston Texans defense did not miss a beat last week this man on your screen right here Will Anderson Jr. clocked in three sacks alone by himself last week against the Tennessee Titans was absolutely terrorizing that offensive line defense all around played phenomenally was able to pick off Cam Ward one time just a great game defensively 26-3 beating on the Tennessee Titans and it's the last time I'll say it but heading into that game I had said I said hey you're gonna play the Tennessee Titans go put a whooping on that team you can't skate out of here with the win if you want to if you want to prove that you're still a playoff contender you got to put a whooping on this team first time we've seen the the Houston Texans look like a complete football team this season where we didn't have to question any aspects offense was rolling defense was rolling and it led to a great win but that defense man was killer Tennessee wasn't able to do anything offensively because that defense was just pouncing from start to finish led to a great win this defense I had said it I said I don't care if it's against the 2017 Cleveland Browns they need a win to get rolling to get to know that they can get that juice in their veins D'Amico Ryans had talked about it after the win this Sunday he said hey how does it feel to eat how does it feel to finally get on the board with the win how does it feel to finally do it I think that's exactly what the Houston Texans needed more than anything it doesn't matter who the win was against makes a little bit sweeter that it was against a division rival but either way man either way Houston Texans were able to eat and that's what they needed. I think this defense is going to absolutely exploit this Jacksonville Jaguars offense when it comes to the offensive line. You're down a man offensively, and I get it. This defense has had its low moments against great offenses. Trevor Lawrence can be a great quarterback. I still think that this defense can exploit him 100%. I think this defense can be great, and you got guys like Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter flying around. I'm going to say something, and apparently people were telling me I was dumb for thinking this. I think Kamari Lassiter played very well in the last game I think guys like Reed Blankenship are finally starting to maybe not be so horrendously awful and starting to look a little bit better Derek Stingley obviously people like to beat up on him for that game he had against Dallas a lot of those plays that CeeDee Lamb was able to grab a lot of those catches that he was able to grab the blame was put on Derek Stingley I still think Derek Stingley is great CeeDee Lamb is just one of those guys that he's going to cross anybody up it doesn't matter so but either way it was a great win for the team this past Sunday. And I think this defense is going to exploit that Jacksonville Jaguars offensive line. Something I want to ask you guys very quickly. How many sacks are you calling for the Texans this Sunday? I'm going to say A slash B. I think three is on the money. I wouldn't be surprised if they got four. If they were able to do that to the Tennessee Titans, and I get it, Tennessee Titans are bad. They're 0-5. They're one of the worst teams in the NFL. I get that. But now that we know that Anton's not going to play, now that we know that Anton Harrison is out, now that we know that this defense can really eat, can really get going, I don't care what anybody says Will Anderson Jr. is the defensive player of the year if he keeps going like this he is the defensive player of the year currently right now so I'm going to say that they're going to get at least three sacks I don't think there's any way that they get one or two sacks I think they're going to feast on the ground against the run game and I think against the pass rush as well Jacksonville Jaguars offense is going to struggle so I'm going to probably say three or four I don't think Will Anderson Jr. is going to get them all alone but either way I still think it's going to be a great game for the Texans. I think six or more is a little crazy. If anybody types C, you're a diehard man because I'm not typing C myself, but I want to know what you guys think. Something I will say, I've been harping on it a lot. I'm going to harp on it again. These Houston Texans need a win badly, man. These Houston Texans, we need a win badly. We get it. We got the win. We got the juice in our veins. Week five, we finally got a win on the board. You got to start stacking those wins. You're still a one in four team. You just traded for Marvin Harrison Jr., so obviously people are looking forward to that. I think the pass game is going to be a lot more deadly with Marvin on the field. Apparently, it's a hot take to say that I'm glad we traded for Marvin Harrison Jr. for a guy who's still on his rookie contract and was considered by many a generational talent headed into this league. Apparently, that's a wild take to say I'm so glad he's on this team, but him and CJ are already practicing. I think the pass game is going to be deadly. It's obvious that Woody Marks is going to get the starting snaps this week. I had said it before. I said, hey, Woody Marks needs to be getting the starting snaps either way, even if David Montgomery was healthy. Woody Marks is the true RB1 on this team for the rest of the season. So I think the run game is going to be slightly a little bit better. I think the pass game is going to be delightful in this game. We got to attack pass-wise. Obviously, I still think Woody Marks is okay. He's solid. Pass game has got to be what we capitalize on. You trade for Marvin Harrison Jr. You have Nico Collins on the team. The 21-day window has officially opened up for Tank Dell last week. You still have guys moving around like Dalton Schultz. Marlon Klein, second round tight end that we drafted. I'm not sure why he's not getting involved. Get him involved more. Get him on these heavy packages more. We got to do more heavy packages in my opinion as well. But the Houston Texans have to win this game, man. You finally got to win. You finally made the big trade. Go do something about it. Defense, go do something about it. Offense, prove that you can still move when it's not just the Tennessee Titans you're playing. Prove that you can still move even when the defense, maybe they slow down a little bit, which I don't think this defense will. But prove that you can still be a good team. I think those are going to be the keys to what helps the Houston Texans win this Sunday. I'm going to say it, man. I'm going to say it. I still think the Houston Texans, a little bit of a malfunction right there, but I still think the Houston Texans can make the playoffs. I still think that this is a playoff caliber football team. And I know people are going to beat me up and say, hey, this defense isn't what it was before. This defense has been struggling. We have Dan Orlovsky and guys, a part of ESPN and all these things saying, hey, this Houston Texans defense is predictable. Don't care. I think this Houston Texans defense is still great. I think this Houston Texans defense can still ball. And they've shown that. People want to clown on me for saying it against Cincinnati. I think they played well against Cincinnati. You get to a point where your offense does so little that your defense is like, man, what is it going to take for us to finally, we keep giving our offenses layups and they're not doing anything. We're holding the Cincinnati Bengals offense to seven points in the first half. When is the defense, when is the offense of our own going to finally get going? I think things like that really matter compared to at the end of the day, seeing all the statistics about how the Houston Texans defense isn't as good as it used to be. I think a lot more goes into it. And I think this defense is going to feast. Obviously you hate to see any player being injured, but it does help the Houston Texans a little bit knowing that the starting a starting player for the Jacksonville Jaguars is officially out because he's out man he's not going to play tackle is not going to play and I think the Houston Texans are going to feast against Trevor Lawrence are going to feast against this run game man Caden McDonald also coming back that's something we got to look forward to man so it's looking up for the Houston Texans but are they going to be able to capitalize off of we got a game in London this Sunday 8 30 in the morning I don't know who's waking up for it but it's not me I'm not waking up that early I'm a full-time college student that's one of my only days I get to sleep in so unfortunately I might miss a quarter or so but either way we're going to talk about that game fully throughout this week we're going to dive deep we're going to dive deep into it but thank you guys so much for watching today on Texans Digest let me know if you guys think that this is a win because I think Houston Texans odds go up just a little bit following this 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
