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’ve always thought a great play would be…

Qb roll way out, to the side line but as close to the line of scrimmage as he can, throw it backwards to an olineman who has dropped behind him, drifted towards the other sideline.

In theory the pass rush will be pulled towards the qb. The oline with the ball would have a wall of 4 in front of him taking on maybe one LB.

I think this would go for 50 yards or more.
