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 the Eagles to line up for the Tush Push and then the the defensive nose tackle to just lay down at the line of scrimmage, sort of like in soccer when they have that guy lay down behind the wall on free kicks. If the whole point of the Tush Push is to get as low as possible as a wedge, then a guy laying down means they can’t get that low and won’t get the push.
It’s just crazy enough to work!
