Try to get into the habit of looking at shirt numbers as they break the offensive huddle so you can pick out your eligibles as early as possible. If you see only one eligible number coming your way, then you are expecting the guy to be on the line.
If you see two (or more) coming your way, then you expect one on the line and one off the line. If they mess up and both are on the line, be sure to know what the "covered" guy does if there is a pass across the NZ. He may be ineligible downfield. Only the wing guys can catch this - the Umpire will only be checking the 50-79 numbered guys being too far downfield.
