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 remember the Packers doing this against the Lions with Eddie Lacy once. Every single play was Eddie Lacy up the middle for like 8-9 yards.

    I mean, it worked so why wouldn’t they keep doing it?

      Do you remember Craig “Ironhead” Heyward? Or Christian Okoye, or maybe William “The Refrigerator” Perry being put in the backfield on the goal line?
