[QUOTE=ForensicRef]Excellent write up MJT...couple questions.



Quote:
How do you "confirm with U"? Is there a specific hand signal or verbal signal?
Kind of hard to describe and can be a little different from crew to crew, but most do closed fist above the shoulder and elbow down.



Quote:
From where you are on the field wouldn't it be easier for the linesman to count the K players and you to count the R players? As I understand it the ref is behind the last R player on kickoffs.
As the R, I count both and will not blow the RFP with out 11 on each side. If R is short, I'll tell one of their deep backs to get a count cuz I have only 10 and if it is K, my BJ should be doing the same.

When would this be?
This is for a 5 man crew. It depends on if he goes straight upfield or towards a sideline first. When the return man gets closer to them, I release him and watch for blocks. I do not have him very long.
