re: Why doesn't our offense ever point out blocking assignments

so i umpire high school. right in the thick of the line.

I see QB's calling 55 is the mike 55 is the mike all damn game. but oddly enough, i rarely, if ever, see any linemen looking out to see where in the hell 55 is.

my point is, you have an assignment in front of your face. the QB should audible if that assignment needs to be changed.

In HS on the line we called out the blocking assignments. 3 for a 3-tech on the guard, 33 if guard is uncovered there's a LB off the line. We never pointed but we'd yell loud enough for other linemen and the QB to hear in case we had a check w/ me or a certain play that altered blocking assignments like for a trap or a kick-out block.
