"They say ‘3-4’, ‘4-3’, all that," Phillips said at the Texans' annual Charity Golf Classic. "We really play a 5-2. We play five defensive linemen that can rush the passer and two inside 'backers who can tackle people. And we think Mario certainly fits in there."

if we play a 5-2 and can't manufacture QB pressure

Then I fucking quit.

If we run a 5-2

and teams are still able to run on us i will quit. Atleast if they passing i will understand or secondary is not great and can expect that. So i guess when he says we run a 5-2 that means 5 guys are coming, i hope Meco and Cushing are fast enough to cover flats, cause safety will have to cover TE’s.

Even in the classic 5-2

The Blood end covered flats and played standing up

I have always said the 3-4 is the 5-2

The only way that could happen is if

The O and D linemen were evenly matched in blocking vs defensive manuevers.
And i Know that Mario has always affected us when we played against him and i’ve only seen one of our O-Linemen pancake him once. Other than that we either double block him, run a draw, or run to the opposite side.

I could see him being very hard to play against in this scheme

To throw everyone really off next week...

The texans announce that Rackers will play DE, WATT OLB, and Williams will now be doing the kicking for the team.

I really like this move.

With Wade’s ability to mix up looks and schemes, I think we’re going to have a good defense this year.

And god forbid, Wade can actually do creative blitzes, something this team has never had.

Unfortunately he used it during practice as well & it scared Mittens into the fetal position every time
