REPLY: Most of the teams around these parts have become used to indicating where they're supposed to be by either pointing to the line or pointing backwards. I will just confirm with them ("#26 is on the line" or "#10 is a back"). I also extend my upfield foot and tap my thigh saying "This is your line" the first time a receiver comes out toward me. After the first two or three series, everything seems to be fine.
I agree...don't ever tell a player to move up or move back. That practice is a disaster waiting to happen.
