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 want to see some fake spikes. Every time I see a defense lazily get into rough position barely paying attention inside the 5 as they wait for the spike, I wish someone would just snap it and walk it in.

stafford fake spike against the cowboys in like ~2011 was one of my all time favorite endings to watch live

Like Marino did back in the day, or more recently big Ben.
