So yes as long as you have 7 men on the line and the correct numbers coincide with the type of play this is legal.
Now someone correct me if I'm having a brain fart on this. Even if A has less than seven players on the line, if the snapper is on the end of the line and is wearing an eligible number, he is eligible. Yes, they are guilty of illegal formation, but if the snapper goes downfield and touches a pass it would NOT be OPI. Am I correct or in left field on this one?
