So there is no specific requirement that there be specific number of eligibles? If A brought in 6 lineman, all numbered 50-79, and none were on the end of the line or in the backfield (i.e. only 3 in the backfield, 2 on the end of the line for 5 total eligible), would this be legal?
The other rules still apply. Minimum 7 on the line, all eligible receivers must be eligible numbers, all ineligible receivers must be ineligible numbers, exceptions must report. Your sitch (8 on the line) is legal, assuming numbering matches.
