Even if I don't release immediately, and even being not really in shape, I'm going to cover most the distance the runner did. After 65 yards (I believe it was right?) I might not make it to the goal or 5, but the 15 would be decent to at least see things.

With a 7 man crew we still have everything up to the 3 yards line. Snap inside the 8 we take the GL directly and the FJ/SJ have the end line.

Are you told to hold the line and watch behind the play? Seems strange to me, but some other mechanics things I have read also seem strange.

For 5 man, the BJ is expected to get a deep spot. At least where I live....
