We roll the hands also. I knew the answer and it appears that most do the same thing.

REPLY: And there's no real need to be discrete about it. Make sure that all 4, 5, 6, or 7 of you know that the ball's going to remain live if blocked or if it doesn't reach the endzone. And if you need to yell to your partner to remind him, do it.

When I said discrete I meant that we don't make a production of it we just signal amongst ourselves. Some astute coaches have picked up on some of our signals and use them accordingly. When a wing has punched a pass backward I have heard coaches yelling that it was a live ball. Some also know our counting signals and move people up on the line accordingly.

On FG attempts the U and R roll arms for snapper protection reminder but me (HL) R & U just remind each other that "its a live ball, its a live ball" normally.
