In order to allow some sort of “shifting” a legal way around the wording in 7-5-2b (exception) must be met. In their offensive scheme, when the team breaks the huddle only the snapper and possible 2 linemen next to the snapper might take an initial position on the L.O.S.

7-2-5 (b) ECEPTION:
"A player in the game under this exception (the numbering exception)
must assume an initial position on his line of scrimmage between the ends and he remains an ineligible forward-pass receiver during that down unless the pass is touched by B."
Would that preclude that? Wouldn't at least
five A players have to "assume an initial position" on their line of scrimmage, between the ends and wouldn't they then remain ineligible for the down (unless B touches the pass)?

Legally, they can and do continue to move forward and backward while remaining Off the L.O.S., but never committing to being on the L.O.S.

At our local meeting last night, they said that at least five guys have to take an initial LOS position.
