What I do...the R counts his offense: fist straight out if we have 11 there, thumb down if short one, thumb up if there's one (or more) too many. Umpire also counts offense and confirms with same signal...usually as huddle breaks.
BJ counts Defense, with back-up from LJ.
Wings work together on signals with how their end is online or off and count backfield as a backup.
In a 4 man crew, we do the same thing except UMP takes BJ responsibilities on D side. Works for us and that's how I've done it for as long as I can remember.
