This is a good point and...

* In terms of the offensive "deception" question from another post, and why the A-11 already has and will continue to pass that test:

a. thousands of offensive football teams have been and will continue to purposefully Present a certain pair or group of WR's Near the L.O.S. to the Defense, and then Cover or Uncover them to confuse the defense and to give the Defense a Cloudy pre-snap look as to what WR's are or are not eligible on that play. Those teams successfully confuse the Defense and they will continue to do so. That has been going on for years and will continue regardless of the A-11.

b. The A-11 simply offers more "potentially eligible" WR's that the Defense can see, and that was carefully reviewed last off-season prior to approval. But as you know only 5 of those WR can go downfield on a forward passing attempt each play.

c. Both of these facts were discussed in detail and have been brought to my attention many, many times since.

d. To the other question about QB's busting loose on a broken play and having Ineligible WR's downfield on that play, etc. Ineligible WR/TE/RB players have been illegally downfield and will continue to be with traditional offenses long before the A-11 offense took the field, and that has been well-documented. Plus the Officials already look for that on Punt and FG/PAT plays too.

e. Lastly, anybody that has coached against or Officiated one of our A-11 games from the 2007 has called the A-11 many things (mostly very good), but "mockery" would not be one of them, respectfully.
