a11 Offense - 11 potentially eligible receivers

[daggo66]

All they are doing is taking advantage of a loop hole in the numbering system. There are still the same number of eligible receivers on any given play. They are only making the officials' jobs more difficult and may occasionally succeed in having an ineligible downfield. We deal with this when working youth football all the time because the do away with the NFS numbering requirement in my area. Granted they don't pass as often. I don't see this as some great "revolution". Any team that can defense the spread can defense this.

Tom, what's confusing is that you have the snapper over the ball with 10 eligible numbers behind the LOS. 6 step up to the LOS and set for 1 second. The defense has no idea who will be eligible /ineligible until 1 second before the snap. It's quite effective.
