Sounds like we're close in our thinking. I don't agree about the big advantage. The rule says he has to be inside the marks sometime after the ready - he doesn't have to be inside the 9-yard marks at the snap. So he can line up at the sideline all he wants - thus stretching out the defense anyway. I do agree with the talk-to. The wings really have to communicate with players and coaches this year - then everyone will get used to it and we won't even notice it anymore.
