REPLY: TxMike, I thought that Federation 5-man says:

R - down near goal line with deep receiver
BJ - press box side at around the 25
U - opposite side at around 20
LJ - on B's restraining line press box side
HL - on A's restraining line opposite side after administering ball to kicker.

That's what we've done here for years. I thought it was the NF "approved" technique. I don't much like it. I'd prefer it similar to the way the CCA 6/7 man has it -- H and L deep with R, and F and S up on R's restraining line (with U on K's line). It seems to make more sense to have the runners (F and J) at midfield ready to go on a breakaway and H and L following the play. This parallels what they would normally do on a long run from scrimmage.
