That I agree with but as I read John's statement, I took it to mean that he was saying that the snapper receives no protection because he is eligible. Now that I've re-read it, I am inclined to agree with your interpretation of his post.
If John weren't grunting like the typical coach, maybe his post would've been easier to understand.

The snapper is an eligible receiver because he's lined up on the end of the line and is wearing an eligible number.
The other point to keep in mind is that the numbering exceptions do not apply in this formation. There must be 5 players numbered 50-79 on the line.

Good points and I agree.
