covered ends?

[Ed Hickland]

Glad you asked.

There must be 7 on the line, correct.

In order to be eligible a player must be in the backfield or on the end of the line and with a legal number (1-49 and 80-99) if your league follows numbering conventions -- many youth league don't.

You cannot have

WR WR T G C T G

As one of the receivers is "covered" by the other, meaning the inside wide receiver is ineligble to go out for a pass. Plus, you lose the opportunity to have the maximum of six players eligible. You could do this

WR T G C T G
WR

and this is perfectly legal.

Evidently, your officials must have called it correctly or you would not be on this forum.
