Rich Eisen dishes on Stroud & Anderson, Houston Texans outlook in 2023
ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?
06 September 2023
The long wait is almost over, with the Texans ramping up to face the Ravens in Baltimore this Sunday. While it could be tough sledding against Lamar Jackson and company, the schedule does lighten up a bit over the next few games.
In week two, Will Anderson will get a chance to sack fellow rookie Anthony Richardson when the Texans host their home debut against the Colts.
As Eisen runs through the Texans schedule, he identifies several top QBs that Anderson will have a chance to put on the ground.
So what type of season should we expect from Anderson and the Texans overall?
Is six or seven wins reasonable for the Texans? Vegas thinks so.
Be sure to watch the video above as Rich and the guys break it all down.

The deal is reportedly fully guaranteed and would keep Smith in a Rockets uniform through the 2030–31 season.
Smith, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, averaged 12.2 points and seven rebounds last season, starting 39 of the 57 games he played. While injuries and inconsistency limited his minutes at times, the 21-year-old showed flashes of the two-way potential that made him a top lottery pick, and someone the Rockets clearly see as part of their long-term foundation.
The move signals continued trust in the franchise’s young core and a commitment to internal development as Houston builds toward sustained playoff contention.
