Now let's say that before the snap, the WR on the right side "shifts" back a step and then sets for a second before the snap. They shifted to make the C eligible. That wouldn't be legal?
The problem (in Canada at least) with the above is that if the WR shifts back then C could be eligible since he is the last on the line, if he has an eligible number. But if he has an eligible number then there are not five ineligibles in a row (TGGT are only four) assuming all the WRs have eligible numbers.
