What Gimmicky Strategies Do You Want to See an NFL Team Try? (alien.top)

Inspired by that thread last week about stacking an entire team with elite offensive linemen and running for 3 yards every single play.

What other crackpot strategies would you like to see an NFL team try? I’ve got two…

1: A rugby-style offense that’s the polar opposite of the tush push. get your speedsters in a Flying V formation in the open field and let them lateral it to each other.

2: An offense that starts 2 mobile QBs (one lefty one righty) in shotgun every play. ball could get snapped to either one to run a somewhat normal offensive scheme, or just max out the gimmicks and do a bunch of flea-flicker, double-pass type stuff with the two guys back there

I'd like to see defenses get ultra aggressive in the fourth quarter when they are up by less than a touchdown. I want to see all out blitzes every down.

The idea is to not give up a clock killing touchdown drive. You either force a punt, or give up a quick touchdown. This lets you get the ball back with a chance to end the game on a touchdown drive of your own.

That's literally what happend in the Denver game minus the spread.

The Greg Williams defense. The way it worked out in practice was the defense giving up a quick score while the offense barely has time to catch their breath
