    I'm not defending anything. Only trying to splain it as I understand it. Hell, I was hoping someone with more knowledge would elaborate for me to learn.

    The more I try to read about this, the more I just get confused.

    This strictly my opinion, so take it for what it's worth.
    In most offensive formations, on the line of scrimmage you have the center, 2 guards, 2 tackles, the TE and 1 WR.
    The four players in the backfield can be a wide variety of combinations.

    I wasn't going say it but a player can be "on" his team's line of scrimmage without literally touching that plane. :D

    In that formation the TE, WR would be eligible receivers, as would all the backs since they're not on the LOS.

    Sooo, what happens when you see Trips left?

    I don't watch NFL so you may have to explain that one to me.

    And next time you go play golf with SF I wish you'd tell that hard-headed sonuva bitch to come by here.

    It's pretty simple. The six eligible receivers are the four backs and the two ends. If there is a fifth back, then there is one receiver too many. A tackle has become an end.

    So I take it he's still in the upright position. For Shane's benefit I'll demonstrate a senior moment. Was this the place where we all posted say 5 - 10 years ago?
