I just was wondering...
We often see when a team is facing a fourth-and-one and decide to "go for it", instead they simply put some people in motion and hope to draw the other team offsides. It's seldom works because the other team is expecting it.
But if we have the ball on our own one, why not try it (put people in motion like crazy to draw the other team offsides) there? No one expects it. It might work and we might gain an important 5 yards in that territory. If it doesn't work, we only lose a half yard.
