I've worked on crews that rely on R's count and then counting the backfield --- they miss far too many of these, and also are not really ready when the play starts more often than not.

I have subbed on crews that counted the backs and it was a pain. Sometimes I would think the wideout on the far side was off the line, I threw my flag and after the play the other wing said he had him on.
