I understood what you meant, but I think it would compromise the tactics more than you think. It encourages a place man to essentially go and sit in the area waiting. All the rest of the team have to manage then is to get the ball to the edge of the area and knock it through to him. If the defense try to mark him at all, they can't play anyone else offside further up the pitch.
Still, if the intent is to Americanise, I suppose a sport where the ball just bounces in and out of each goal with grinding monotony would be appropiate.
