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

Not really gimmicky but stop playing a time management second half when ahead. It drives me nuts when a team goes full throttle the first half on offense and gets ahead. Then they go into time management mode the second half and lose the game. The titans are bad about this.

To add to this you can still switch up the offense in the second half while still pushing the gas. A lot of teams when ahead stick to the same game plan the second half only for the opposing team to make changes at half to counter.
