Houston Texans defensive tackle Roy Lopez had a bright rookie season last year as a sixth-rounder, and the Arizona product is building upon it in preseason.

On third-and-9 from the Rams’ 43-yard line, the second-year defensive tackle bust through the offensive line and dropped quarterback John Wolford for a 6-yard loss, the Texans’ fourth sack of the night.

Lopez had 1.0 sack in his rookie season along with five tackles for loss and two quarterback hits. The 6-2, 318-pound defensive tackle also had a fumble recovery in his 16 games, 15 of which he started.

If Lopez is able to add consistent pressure up the middle in the regular season, it will make coach Lovie Smith’s Tampa 2 scheme effective.
