Dead Time wild idea

Just humor me here. With the depth of our defensive line, and the size of our linebackers, would it be feasible to put 6 on the line in special situations?
My thought was that with the ability of Wilkins to play DT or DE, and with Bryant's (and other DEs) ability to drop into coverage, and with Lamar's ability to rush; if you put 3 DTs (including Wilkins), two DE (one of which could drop into coverage) and Lamar all on the line, the opponent would probably at least call a time out to figure out how to handle the scheme. (P.S.you could also go to a single safety and put in the nickle LB).
It's hard to believe an opponents "max protect" could stop a full rush in time to get a pass off, and a handoff in the backfeild should get smothered instanly. If the opponent tried to audible to a spread, a simple defensive shift where Lamar drops back to his LB position, Bryant shifts into slot coverage, and Wilkins moves to DE would still provide very good defensive posture.
I'd hate to be a QB on 3rd down with more than 10 yards to go, and see Lawrence, Wilkins, Pickney, Bryant, Ferrell, and Lamar all at the line with their ears pined back.
And although I'm not a Football coach, I did sleep at Motel 6 last night so let me enjoy my nonsense.

QB just dumps it over to a TE that slips through the middle.

Would be too easy to attack.

In that scheme do you really think the TE could afford not to block? And wouldn't the LBs realize a TE dump pass is one of the likely check downs, and have the TE covered?

Yes, but most blitz's dont include 6 >250lb blitzers. Or maybe I just haven't noticed this type of blitz before.

This tells me it is a feasible scheme.
So I wonder how well it could work with our super athletic defensive line and LBs. It looks like this scheme was used as a game scheme, I want to see it only for situational uses. I thought it would be good for a pass blitz in long yardage situations, but it looks like the origin was for defense against two-back run games (and Wing T like GTech). So there actually be a good application for several situations.
