I have to ask this ... .why does ANYONE have to sit? they are ALL active on gameday. All it would take is rotating in. Change up your personnel packages. Sure... somebody is going to get a little leass time, but nobody ahs to be "benched". You just use all the guys you have available.
I'm sorry ... I took your comment that "someone has to sit" to mean they don't play. All they have to do is rotate groupings and spread the ball around. At least guys would get reps and valuable game experience, on top of seeing who rises to the occasion.
Running out of sets like that has to be done as a draw play like Martz use to do with Faulk. He used to gash defenses because they'd get sucked into the rush and sometimes send a LB but not a S or DB because they were focused on coverage, and big spaces would open up for him. With his feet and vision he made a lot of big plays happen out of 4-5 wide sets.
It can be done but it has to be designed like that. You can't just hand it right off IMO.
