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.

See my suggestion about counting just the linemen on your side of snapper.
