When we vacate a position, whether it be a LJ, HL, or U, that same argument can be made every time about something.
Rougher the snapper has never been an issue for us up here on the tundra.
I'm assuming that is why we are instructed to have the U under the posts. Our State 'Rules' interpretor wants the goal line covered, the outside defenders protected, and the line play observed by the wings. The U is to observe the center until he can be legally engaged, and then pick up the ball.
