Coming to the NFL?

Yahoo excitedly reported on the A-11 offense being run by high school teams.
*
The base offense is one in which a center and two tight ends surround the football, three receivers are split right, three more split left and two quarterbacks stand behind in a shotgun, one of whom has to be at least 7 yards behind the line of scrimmage.
*
An NFL coach, who identified himself only as Lovie S. has apparently contacted Steve Humphries, creator of the formation, about whether it can be modified to operate without quarterbacks or wide-receivers.

Amazing. I cannot imagine the Bears using such an offence... Although, the T-Formation was considered just as revolutionary.
