Some team would already have shown this is possible to be executed.
It's not possible.
There are too many bad things that can happen. Your execution needs to be too precise for this to be a repeatable offensive strategy.
You can't have one bad block on a running play.
You can't have a dropped pass.
You can't have a ball slightly overthrown.
When you're down you can't think about burning clock. You just have to think about finding the open man and hitting him, whether it's a 5-yard gain or a 20-yard gain.
You can't sit there and say "oh shit that man is open 25 yards down the field, but I only need five yards on this play."
