It’s no secret how excited I am for the Kansas City Chiefs to run the 4-2-5 defense more often.
For years now, I’ve pounded the table like general manager Brett Veach for a second inside linebacker that was capable of staying on the field on passing downs.
Since Bob Sutton has been here, the Chiefs have had one inside linebacker that seemed capable of playing the pass. The rest were more thumper linebackers who could not.
This meant that Sutton has leaned on what I called the auto-dime — the 2-3-6 defense.
