English is a confusing language

In order for a player to be eligible from a position on the line of scrimmage he must be eligible by number (1-49 or 80-99) and position -- on the END of the line.

Since you ignore numbering in youth leagues only players on the END of the line are eligible.

How many times have you hear a youth coach talk about his tight end lining up in the backfield? Or having the tight end next to the split end?

Doesn't the word end imply one is on the END of the line. And, last I checked there can only be one end of a line on the same side.
