Significance of Personnel displayed pre-play

[WestMag]

When you are picking your play on defence, and you can see the personnel the offence is selecting, does the order of the positions displayed have any significance?

ie: would 2WR 1RB 1TE 1FB 1QB indicate anything different from 1TE 1FB 2WR 1QB 1RB, eventhough its the same skill personnel?

Does the order give any insight as to where the players will line up or is it just random?

I do believe it does make a difference.

Usually the QB is listed first, but if he is listed later in sequence then it is a wildcat formation.

This is how I remember it but haven't paid close attention lately. I just know when I see it.

So we've determined that it probably does mean something, but noone really knows what it is? Also, whats the deal with two QBs going in at the same time (not in wildcat).

Probably a qb that can play wr very well. I used to put my 3 string in my 5wr set if they can really play.
