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

Let us evolve the Tush Push. There is no rule about throwing players forward. Employ a small durable player that on the snap of the ball can be thrown over the line by two players, similar to a shot put.

Whatever evolution of offense Bellicheck was going for with Gronk and Hernandez. He could never quite get it right after the first one kind of broke but he was on the cusp of a brand new system utilizing basically only tight ends and running the football.

Can a player run up another player? I say we put treads on a fullback and let a half back climb and jump the line

That system probably only works when you have arguably the GOAT TE and GOAT QB in that system. Also another fringe all-pro TE.

Like most "systems" it helps when the players are incredibly good lol
