New Offensive Idea Shared with us...Is It Legal?

[KurtBryan]

Dear Officials:

We have been discussing some very good new offensive concepts with various coaches nationwide - not just about our offense but their great ideas too, etc.

* I have a question for Officials - there is a coach who is going to run his offense like this predominantly...

A. Virtually every play after the ball is snapped, either 2, 3, or 4 offensive players will Group close together in the backfield, in the middle, to the left or to the right.

B. After they Group, one of the ballcarriers will Pop Out with the football, and every other player will Pretend he has the ball, etc.

C. Then they will either continue faking, or execute reverses, pitches and/or pass or run with the actual football.

Are there any rules against that on each play?

It is intriguing and when told to me, it gives a coach some excellent ideas.
