It is forbidden to block the ball by jamming it with the feet, legs, etc., if this prevents an opponent from playing the ball (in accordance with the rules). The addition of the rule conformity is important, because it is a variant of dangerous play.

Congrats you invented Rugby 2
With how little I know of football. I am sure someone is going to be offside and invalidate the entire plan.
But I like your thinking mate.
So long as they start in their own half they won't be offside
Tbh I'm not sure what rule/s this breaks, although I assume it must do
Even if completely stopping the ball from moving was not a violation:
The outside circle cannot actually prevent opponents from getting to the ball, that's obstruction. You can't set a screen in football while ignoring the ball.
So you have two players forced to move in an awkward way. The defenders are just going to push them off the ball with a shoulder to shoulder push.
Can't do that for the same reason you can't hold the ball inside your jersey like you're pregnant with the ball
Reminded me of "La Cuauhtemiña
You just broke soccer. I hope your fucking happy.
Someone did this once hundreds of years ago and the coach screams "Just knock them over! Grab them and throw them down! Tackle them!" and all at once American Football was born.
This is a bible story.
