Texans' pass rush picking up in preseason
Los Angeles Rams quarterback John Wolford, left, is sacked by Houston Texans linebacker Christian Kirksey during the first half of a preseason NFL football game Friday, Aug. 19, 2022, in Inglewood, Calif. INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Lovie Smith’s offseason efforts to transform Houston’s defensive front into a more volatile unit has shown initial payoffs through two preseason games.
Smith’s defense often allows its defenders to play instinctively: less scheme, more impulse. Kirksey said his sack was a simple call in which he was matched up with Rams running back Jake Funk. Kirksey saw Funk was pass blocking, knew Funk would have to take him one-on-one, so he “just took off” and rushed into the backfield., and the franchise has totaled 11 sacks in two preseason games. They’ll close the preseason on Thursday night against the 49ers at NRG Stadium.
