A-11 Explaborated a Bit

So, yes the interior lineman are ineligible, but the offense doesn't tell you who they are until one second before the snap. Beergut can sleep, his search is ended.

Nice read

here’s a bit more for those who’d like a war and peace version.

Not sure where beergut’s experience lies, but evidently it’s considered functionally illegal in Texas high schools, so folks in our neck of the woods won’t see it any time soon.

Interestingly, there is a legal variant which was used by BYU a few decades ago.

the covered/uncovered thing is where I think the weakness is

DBs just need to be able to recognize covered/uncovered or on or off, and they’ll be okay.

It will be pretty difficult...

… for anyone closer than the safeties to be able to pick out all 6 new LOS members in one second. I agree that that is the key to defending it, (or at least the starting point), but getting the entire defense to read the LOS correctly in just one second, especially at the HS level, has to give a coach the heebie-jeebies. Add in the fact that some covered players can run little dummy routes behind the line, or take off downfield as if on a route to block for screens and running plays, and the offense can take a serious advantage of this.

I’m not sold on using it exclusively, but throwing it out there for a few plays per series might be a nightmare for game management and pre-game preparations in practice. Definitely a useful weapon to have in your back pocket.
