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. www.A11Offense.com
Yes, BUT>>>>> that deception is limited to a maximum of 5 potential receivers. Your concept makes 10 potential receivers. This is patently unfair. As has been made clear here, the NFHS rulebook is lacking when it comes to dealing with your concept (but hopefully that will soon change). The NCAA rulebook is not so lacking and in there , even on situations where the numbering exception applies, there are very restrictive conditions placed on the offense to keep them from exploiting the "free for all" numbering.
