I like Jason's idea about an open hand instead of a fist on the arm extended. I had a play last year where we missed a tackle that wasn't out there. I was HL, we had a hurry up offense and it was lower level, so we were getting everyone lined up. I missed the fact that there wasn't a tackle, counted 4 in the backfield, and we played on. I had two wide-outs on my side and couldn't fully see how many were in the "pit." The coach, 5 yards back, had a perfect view and saw it. So we (meaning I) just missed it.
I've had a question about this all offseason. With everything else the wings have to do, we can't always confirm 11 or on the field or see that 7 are on the line. If anyone has some suggestions here that would help, I'd love to hear them.
