I don't work under fed rules/mechanics but have researched some websites. Am I correct in saying that the R and U are deep, on opposite sidelines? Do they then take fporward progress on the return all the way or do they go to a point and then stop?
I work in IN, and we use a different format wiht great success. We feel that we put people in correct positions for returns/clean ups/ and for easy movement into our positions for the next scrimmage play. We have been using this for about 4 years now:

R- on goal line, faoring press box side, moves to side of play after reciept.
U- about 20-25yd line, press box side
H- about 15 yd line, opposite press box
LJ- on "R"'s free kick line, press box side
BJ- on "K"'s free kick line, opposite press box

We have found ot be in good positions for hand offs up the field, coverage on reception of kick (including on side: U and H will creep up line if one is signaled. We ask the K if they will on side. If it is not an obvious situation, U and H will creep up the line as it is kicked so as to not alert recievers.

R has main job of touch back/not; then up to 20 yd line then clean up the play.
After play, H spots and sets chains, R steps in behind "A" huddle, U places ball down and assumes possition, LJ is setting spot for his side line and shuttles ball out/in on his side, and BJ shuttles in ball in/out for opposite side.
