As for the try I think when it is a short fieldgoal or on the try after TD the U should go under the post. The major problem, like you pointed out is no LJ on the fake can be a big problem. I think then on long tries the R should cover one post and just have the BJ under a post. This method really depends on the distance of the attemp and you need to be clear on what your crew will consider long or short.

REPLY: snake-eyes...we used the technique with the U under the post for about two seasons until our state association told us to "cease and desist." They felt that positioning the U under the post could compromise the protection offered to the snapper. We don't necessarily agree, but that's what we've been told. And, since going to five men, we've never experimented with the R calling one of the uprights. Because of the distance away, I would think he'd have a tough time on close ones determining whether the ball was inside or outside the upright at the moment it passed over the crossbar. So we go "traditional" with the L and B under the uprights, and scramble like heck when there's a fake or a busted play to the L's sideline.
