Make it a punter instead of a QB. A up by 6, 20 seconds to go, 4th down and 30 from the 2. Coach tells punter to catch the snap and step out of the endzone - would rather punt from the 20 without a rush, than punt from the edge of the endzone, risking a block. Punter flubs the snap, picks it up, and in a panic tries to step out of bounds instead of just falling to the ground. Punter is HCT'd in the EZ.

Take the safety and punt from the 20 instead of trying again to punt from the 15, with a rush (and actually punting from about the 3-4 yard line.
