If part of your pre-snap routine is looking for a "punch" from the R, then there's nothing wrong with counting the backs.
But, the problem with just counting the backfield is when the R "punches" just to punch without really count the players. Your counting the backs thinking that there are 11, but there are really 10 on the field. You can still have 4 backs, and still have an illegal formation.
What do you guys, who count backs, do if the U is flashing that he has 10, and the R is punching 11?
I know that if I work the wing, I'm not taking any chances that the R or the U haven't miscounted.
