It would eliminate a lot of misunderstandings and a lack of continuity from one crew to the next.

Buck, I think that's why state associations come out with how they want it called.
In NC, the lineman must be in a three or four point stance and his initial charge must be forward. Rationale: If he's in a two point stance or he takes a step back, the FBZ has disintegrated before he can make the block.
Agree or disagree, that's the interp we're given so that everyone is consistent and there are no questions.
