Front Office Football Central - View Single Post - a-11 offense (the mother of all spread offenses)

I'm not sure if it was mentioned before in this thread, but there is a rule when using the scrimmage kick numbering exceptions that once you take a set position in an ineligible position, you can't shift to an eligible position. Thus, once the 5 ineligible linemen get set, they can be fairly easily identified. The trick is to have the linemen wandering around before taking their set positions to not show who is one the line.

A good defense should be able to run through linemen who aren't true linemen.

Also note that a few states have outlawed the offense as being against the spirit of the game or some such.
