Before going any further, take a good, close look at this defensive gem. What do you see?
This is a textbook TEX (tackle/end/twist) sack by Dennis Gardeck and Markus Golden.
They line up to the bottom of the screen, to the right side of the Texans’ offensive line and their QB Davis Mills.
On the snap, Gardeck takes an outside gap rush, while Golden pops his blocker and loops underneath Gardeck’s tail to explode on a straight line to the QB.
Ba —- Boom!
One of the main reasons why this classic TEX stunt worked is that Markus Golden has been winning big-time from the edge on outside arc rushes over the past few games.
