Note: No background knowledge of American Football necessary at all; Creativity is vital.

Inspiration: One day I thought, "What if Bay12 tried to run a football team. How would that end up?" And thus, no we have this.

Let's see what y'all can come up with.

You there!

Me?

You're supposed to be on the field!

Wait, what? What's going on?

You're one of the coaches for the Chimeras. Come on son, get your act together.

You have the wrong person. I don't even know anything about Footba-

GODDAMNIT WE'RE DOWN BY A FIELD GOAL GET YOUR ASS OUT THERE!

But-

You find yourself out on the sidelines of the football field, decked out in a yellow-purple jacket and holding a clipboard in your right hand, standing next to people who look just like you, and also seem just as confused. Football players mill about you in uniforms reflecting your colors. In the stadium, the noise of the crowd mixes into a giant buzzing drone. From the opposite side of the field, another team wearing red and green lines up. You check the clipboard to find a drawing of the field.

Quarterback Gallant Montgomery intrudes upon the circle created by you and the other coaches. He asks, "So, what play are we going for now?"

Oh snap!

Join as Offensive Coach!

"All right, team, everyone remember your play books?
Well good, throw them out, they're full of garbage.
This is how it's going to run now.
Who the frick is holding the ball?
Montgomery! When play starts, I don't want you backpedaling looking for an opening.
I want everyone to line up tight! No spreading out, we're going to BLITZ!
Once the play starts, everyone is going to wheel back, and form a wedge with the entire team, with Johnson as the spearhead!
We Blitz, and lock together and push through, knocking those pansy Highwaymen to the ground and making them cry for their mamas!

They're all going to be spazzing out, wondering what the heck is wrong with us using such a stupid tactic, and try to charge us and break through, but that's when we'll get them!
Hirohito! While everyone else makes the wedge, you'll run way out to the side, and once we have their entire team piled up on ours like Walkers on a chain-link fence, then that's when the ball gets passed to you, and you have a clear shot straight ahead!

Let's win this for Mother Russia!"

Head Coach Mastahcheese instructs his players on his newly created blitz formation. Montgomery responds, "Sir, isn't the Blitz a defensive move?"
"DEFENSIVE? IT'S FOOTBALL TIME! GET OUT THERE!" Mastahcheese screams at his players as they confusedly bumble their way over to the field. As both teams assemble, the Head Coach begins yelling out his nationalistic dreams and pride over a a megaphone.

Montgomery takes this as the cue to start the play. "HIKE!" Johnson throws the ball back, but in a twist, the Quarterback beings moving forward  as the rest of the offensive line forms sort of bizarre shield-wall arrowhead formation around him. While the Highwaymen Defensive Line struggles to deal with what effectively is a Centurion tactic in the middle of a football game, Hirohito breaks off as the lone catcher and zooms past the defense's left line. As Montgomery goes for the pass, one of the defensive linebackers breaks through the Offensive Blitz and tackles him to the ground. In the whole play, the actually 'wall' didn't actually move much farther than the field of scrimmage, resulting in a sack and no yards gained or lost. Montgomery stands up, giving his coaches the 'What Now?' signal.

Meanwhile, Defensive Coach scapheap consults with his team. "Just working out plans right now." He looks at his playbook. Man, look at all those X's and O's and different lines! Wonder what those could mean.

Surprised that anyone bothered to read this game, let alone bother to post. Anyways, the very first move of the Chimeras under new management has been a shield wall. In an NFL game. By an apparently Soviet Coach. A promising start.

((Forgot about Blitzs being a defensive thing, been a while since I observed sporting.
The last sport I participated in was Quidditch.))

"Allright, then listen up.
Here's what we're going to do. On the line-up, I want Johnson, Sergant, Hart, Cruz, and Drake to form a line right in front, closed tight. Then I want Limewright, Lowrei, and O'Harris to be behind them. At the sound, the second line pushes on the first, and they push on the Highwaymen. Rugby-style! I think.
Then You're to push them apart, and cut a line down the center, so that Montgomery can hand the ball to Hirowhatever and have a straight run down the center of the field! Like a steamroller!

Let's do this!"
