I can't link to it because I'm at work, but Shanle was saying earlier on twitter that in 2009 they would allow a lot of yards and then tighten up in the redzone when the offense had a lead to burn clock.
Never thought of it that way. I've thought about it in terms of allowing your d-line sort of chill until you get close to redzone then let them lose, but never as a clock spending method.
Yeah teams absolutely do this. Prevent defense.
When blowing a team out, your main goal is to just not let them score quick. If they want to just dink and dunk, let them, but do NOT give up a big play. See Saints at Panthers 4th quarter a couple of weeks ago.
