Lightbulb I checked the CCA 5 man book.

I checked the CCA 5 man book and found some interesting things in the illustrations.

(By the way, the CCA 5 man book is a good reference to use for reading the keys that the BJ, LJ and HL have to focus on and communicate with each other.)

On kick tries and short field goal attempts the LJ and the BJ are behind their respective uprights. The Umpire is shown near the goal-line. This may be a good position because the HL and the U can cover the goal-line (in a 7 man crew the SJ will be placed on the goal-line during a field goal attempt unless he is used as a double umpire) and the LJ and BJ can get back to cover their respective side-lines.

On punts the BJ is shown on the same yard-line as the kick receiver, but near the sideline on the HL's side. Then the LJ will come down his sideline on the snap. If the punt goes out of bounds on the fly on the LJ's side then the R will point to the spot, and the LJ will go past that spot, turn around and then come back until the R signals him to stop.

In a 5 man crew the LJ and the BJ will do a lot of running to be sure.
