I remember an idea from many years ago... but can't remember if it was ever tried. After gaining the zone onside (at blue line), the offensive zone expanded to the red line, meaning defense had to clear beyond the red before offense had to tag up.
It sounds more complicated to call but ignoring that, what would it do to the actual play? At the very least, those plays in OT where the offensive team clears the zone and regroups would be less common.
