Advice Anyone?

Umpire slot is a piece of cake!

As mentioned earlier, the guards will tell you everything. Also remember, if the offensive lineman show an agressive block, probably a run, if the show a passive block (retreat or stand their position) probably a pass.

Stay over the ball till the ready for play is given, or your referee motions you out. Then, move to your position about 7 yards off the ball. Then make sure you have 5 players numbers 50 - 79 on the line (and they can be anywhere!). Keep an eye on the snapper as he makes his adjustments and snaps the ball. Remember, a play can not start without a legal snap. After that, it is just football!

One thing, I always tend to know where the tight end lines up. And, I want to know if the tight end is attempting to come across the middle for a pass. Get out of his way! You may want to start by lining up opposite of the tight end.

Hey, enjoy it! Best seat in the house!
