I think I'd find the NFL twice as interesting if teams had 30 players, the starting 11 played both sides of the ball, and substitutions were made to gain a specific advantage in a particular situation with the knowledge that you'd be downgrading overall value at one position for the rest of the game. Would introduce more strategy to personnel decisions, I think, without necessarily requiring players to play iron-man style for an entire game.
