That is very correct. It is about where they set up. The article referenced above 7-2-5a says at the snap........
But the exception when...... A player in the game under this exception must assume an initial position on his line and he remains an ineligable forward pass reciever...
Case book pg. 50 7-2-5 sitD has a point that directly claims this. It is about #33.
