You’re a sneaky guy, Lovie Smith, and I love it! During Thursday’s practice, JoeBucsFan.com spotted newly-acquired Henry Melton lined up at defensive end. Normally seen as a nose tackle, Melton’s presence on the edge is a different but welcomed sight.
Even Gerald McCoy is a fan of the move, according to JoeBucsFan.com:
“We even saw (defensive tackle) Henry Melton play some (defensive) end today. It’s just – you try to see who can do what, and guys who are hybrids, it’s going to be huge for us,” McCoy said. “In the Tampa 2, especially under Lovie Smith, that’s been huge, ends that can play outside and inside, inside guys that can play inside but then go outside if necessary.
