I'm confused, if you're winning on defense you mean? Why would you do that?
If you’re up by more than 8, you guarantee a win
If you’re up by less than 8, it’s more situational but still useful. Say there are 20 seconds left and it’s first down from the 2. You’re only up 4. Just pass interfere and make sure they only get one shot at it instead of the 3 or 4 they were gonna get.
This situation happens every weekend to some degree

I'd really like to see a lot more short-yardage fakes. When everyone is lined up on 3rd & 1 or at the goal line, have the RB take the pitch or handoff like he's going straight into the pile, then run a flea flicker and pitch it back to the QB, with a TE releasing after the initial fake.
Or with a more mobile QB, have the RB fake the dive and pitch it back for a sweep.
Defenses sell out as soon as the RB gets the ball, and I pretty much never see a fake run out of that set.
Also, RBs or WRs should be taught to throw the ball away if they are running to the outside and about to be tackled for a loss behind the line.

I really really really want to see an elite team run the triple option (or veer, wishbone, etc) - either at the collegiate level or the NFL.

If/when a QB runs out of bounds for a loss, he should be put in a penalty box for 5 game minutes.

On a similar note, the NFL should change their rules on defensive pass interference and offensive holding. You can either opt for the penalty yards like normal, or you can replay the down with the guilty party having to sit out the play. 11 v 10 for that one play.

Going for 2 when you score in the 4th to try and get a 9 point lead

An entire pitching staff of short relievers.
No punting.

This would be a penalty. You'd have linemen downfield or may even have grounding.

The talent gap isn’t the issue that people make it out to be. The problem is no elite CFB or nfl fanbase will put up with the process of building the machine.

I want to see 11 280 lb+ guys on offense. Run straight ahead every play with 5 guys in front, ball carrier in the middle, one guy flanking each side of the ball carrier blocking the sides, and three guys behind pushing the pile forward.
Edit: have to put the two flankers as TE's on LOS to comply with the rules.

I would put a really big,fat dude, like 5'5" 500 pound fat, and park his arse in front of the hockey goal. Lose the stick and put those first basemen mit like things they wear on both hands and hold them by your ears to close the only open space to the goal.

Other than the 90+% chance of an incompletion, of course.
Like I said, but you're relying on athletes being idiots and not intentionally knocking it down.
You see it all the time...4th down and 20 and some knucklehead intercepts the pass 30 yards down the field...and gives up 30 yards of field position.
So it's not 90% chance of incomplete...that's not even remotely close. Hail Marys get intecepted all the time, they are the easiest interceptions.
Not remotely close based on evidence. Players love intercepting passes...or
It could be complete. It's more like 50% incomplete...30% intercepted...and 20% caught.
Plus the topic is crazy sports strategies.
I'd bet people would be surprised how often Hail Mary's just end up being regular punts.
But if it is batted down, the opposing team would get the ball where the original play was run? I could see doing this on a 3rd and long maybe, but on 4th down it's just too big of a risk

NBA team to go 5 guards and use the Loyola Marymount System. Just to see if the 3 is actually viable.

Could only be done in a series not a whole season. Too much work.
But to expand your thought
Have a team only have 3 true starters and have them like Middle Men go 3-4 innings and then start the fire brigade.

Some of those plays get blown up too quickly for the linemen to get downfield.

Not sure exactly how you would legally do this, but I would love to see a team run an entire offensive series from the shield punt formation:
move the shield 2 yards closer to the line of scrimmage and replace the punter with a qb 3 yards behind them. Split the wide outs wide.

I think if a college basketball team used selective cherry-picking, it could work occasionally.
Just have one man stay back under the basket to throw the other team off guard.
Going for it on 4th down is an obvious one. The data is there, coaches are just afraid to get fired. Same thing as going for two every time, especially now that the extra point has been moved back.

OP that's the worst idea I've ever heard
