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

More 2 QBs teams. The old saying is if you have 2 QBs you have no QB, but with how the NFL is maybe half the teams have a locked in QB. The other half are ok to suck anyways, might as well try and fuck with opponents

Add flea flickers and trick plays too and that would either be the dumbest move of all time, or unstoppable

Our college coach actually tried a 2 QB strategy - at the same time. Yup, he lined up 2 Quarterbacks on the field, both in shotgun. I guess he thought the defense wouldn't know who had the ball.

It sure was something.

Run a wishbone with a RB, FB, and running QB

We did it last season, we ran a qb by committee... It was... A tactic....

Most teams are going to need 2 QBs after the league goes to a 22 game season.

If Levis is going to start the rest of the year, convert Tannehill back to a WR and line him up in the slot.

We used to use EJ Manuel as a hard count specialist.

Put them on the field at the same time and really see what you can cook up lol
