Oh, I hear ya loud and clear.  Like when they ran the piss out of that formation where the ends and tackles split out wide?  Only takes a few examples on film, in order for a DC to prepare for it.  A good gadget play shouldn't be repeated for at least half a season.  That's why the masters are said to have a "bag of tricks", as compared to the mundane being "one trick ponies".

I would be excited to see a return of counters and traps as a regular thing in the rushing attack.  Even if you have the best straight ahead blockers, the guys across the line are professionals just the same.  Gotta always have something else to go to, when the regular get's stalemated.
