I do a bunch of two-man, and I've gotten good at counting very quickly. Sometimes it's hard because of hidden players, but as I'm usually the linesman in a two-man situation and counting B, B is usually lined up before A breaks the huddle, so you have a little easier time.
If I get 10 or 12, I count again to be sure. If I get 10 again, I figure it's 10, but if I get 12 again, I go one more time, veryquickly because I'm usually figuring I just counted wrong.
Also, count helmets. They're usually at different levels because players are different heights. Much easier.
As mentioned, as L, I will count backs if I see my partner punch back to make sure we only have one back behind the quarterback.
