This suggestion wildly favours the attackers, and doesn't solve the problem of fine margins. I honestly think that teams would simply adapt to play far more defensively if this rule got adapted. Say goodbye to suicidal high lines that leads to crazy games, they wouldn't be a viable option with this rule.
