And no one thinks it's a little odd that CJ stays on the outside shoulder of the LG, when he easily could've crossed over his face?
I guess it's possible that Frank is playing contain, except then you have Frank, Saunders and Carlos all playing contain and just CJ rushing, which doesn't make a ton of sense.
Tbh, it looks suspiciously like the set-up rush Cullen called a few games back, but with Frank on the other side of the line.
Who did Cullen coach for before he came to KC? Going to have to see if he's designed this before.

His first steps as he gets into the OT are to the OT's outside shoulder and at the same time his helmet flashes that way. He's clearly starting with a wide rush. Otherwise he wouldn't have taken those wide strides (that's wasted energy/time).
As for Jones - just looks like he was attempting a bull rush. Jones will occasionally just look to collapse the pocket. It's part of a pass-rush plan with him, IMO. He has to keep the Gs aware of the possibility of a bull rush to keep his crossover move as effective as it is.
It looks far more simple to my eyes than you're suggesting it is. That's Jones on a bull rush and Clark from a wide set looking to get the edge. When Jones gets momentum on his bull rush, he keeps at it. When Little beats Clark to his rush point, he tries to engage and break inside.
