Defense playing offense after a turnover

[Dr Pain]

I am watching Patriots game day and Samuel is talking about how he played QB for years. I would love to see on a turn over, the defense quickly set up as an offense and run to the line for a play. Samuel could play QB. The D backs could be receivers. The other team would basically have to call and lose a time out.

That would be awesome. The scary thing is that it could actually work.

That would be the best WTF moment of the game.

Way fun.
I'm no technical genius, but wouldn't the d backs have to report as eligible? And would Samuel be allowed to play QB if he wasn't listed as such on the roster?
Given the versatility of our guys, I think it could work.

if samuel wouldnt be allowed to be qb, we could line troy brown up in the nickel - isnt he still our emergency qb?

Isn't there an official timeout of change of posession ?

When Troy was activated my first thought was, man, I'd love to see him throw the ball again

Yes, but that wouldn't stop some Cam Cameron from calling a TO anyways.

Any player on the active roster can play any position at any time.

The "Emergency QB" is technically a 46th man on the 45-man roster, and the rules are different for that one player.
