That's the term Adalius Thomas used to describe the 0-5-6 defense which the Pats used at times against Buffalo yesterday.
New England Patriots use wrinkle on defense against Buffalo Bills - ESPN Boston
Name that defense - Extra Points - Boston.com
Sounds a bit like a defensive version of the Wildcat - the offense doesn't know what players to block because there are so many LBs lined up at the LOS. It's a bit like all the pass rushers the Jets threw at us week 2, which caused a lot of confusion.
Sounds like BB used a variant of it in 2003 against the Bills to, though I don't recall that. It's hard to argue with 6 sacks and 2-12 on 3rd down, even against the Bills.
