Rex was big on disguised overload & mike/will cross blitz concepts that were a staple with Dick LeBeau’s odd front 1-gap scheme. He just had better players to play man-trail technique while showing 1 high. Forced the QB to make the 'hard' throws away from the middle of the field. A lot of teams use these concepts now, including KC. Sutton does a nice job mixing up the coverages and the fact that we generate good pressure from just 4 makes blocking call adjustments a nightmare for the QB.
