Texans WR Christian Kirk is back practicing today.
Via Jon Alexander on X
C.J. Stroud has targeted the short area of the field (0-9 air yards) at the 3rd highest rate this season (56.9%).
Justin Watson has aligned in the slot on a team-high 37/52 snaps (71.2%) where now Christian Kirk should slide into.
Don’t sleep on the impact Kirk can have on this offense.

The Texans Dropback % with some responsibility for pressures by unit/position:
QB - 8.7% (25th)
OL - 73.9% (25th)
LT - 8.7% (30th)
LG - 26.1% (9th)
C - 8.7% (25th)
RG - 17.4% (T-14th)
RT - 26.1% (13th)
ITE - 4.3% (8th)
OTH - 17.4% (2nd)
There is some truth to the OL improvement at spots but good lord get Dare out of the 3rd down role when you have Woody Marks.
The Texans Wednesday Week 3 Report:
C.J. Stroud on talking about what he can improve on:
“My process has really been good lately, I see the field well putting the ball where it’s supposed to be with the coverages”
He mentions the difficulties of throwing to WRs he has never really thrown to & still wanting to improve as more of a coach on the field.
Texans HC Demeco Ryans says the offense is “much better” than last year and the OL has done a “really good job” so far this year.
