The Texans Wire started a series on the hallmark of Lovie Smith defenses: The Tampa 2 scheme. The goal of this series is to provide clarity for the Houston Texans fan base as to what the team is trying to do on defense at their base schematically.

The first installment revolved around the defensive lineman. Specifically, the one-technique and three-technique defensive tackle roles and the strong and weak side defensive ends.

Once again, the Texans Wire’s John Crumpler was joined by Jordan Pun from Sports’ Illustrated for the discussion. Below is the full interview on YouTube.
