One thing a lot of people I've mentored tend to forget wrt illegal formation is that sophisticated defenses make decisions and coverages based on where players are lined up. If you have a player (re: Alamo Bowl) lined up on the line, and covered by a WR ... you DON'T cover him. In fact, in many cases or coverage packages, the person designated to cover him will rush the QB if his player turns out to be ineligible.
