If you have 11 men on the field, you can't have more than 4 in the backfield meaning you have to have 7 on the los.

Yes. My mistake. Thanks.

Only way it's not a legal play is if it was a pass.
Nope. The 2 end people on the line are always eligible. It's why you sometimes have random linemen having to report as eligible even when there is no chance they will go out for a pass.

You're right we are, because you told me I was a fricking moron for not knowing the rule. Turns out you're the fricking moron.
At least you finally conceded you don't know the rule.

As officials, we both know that the guy you are responding to is one of those guys that after every play is screaming how we missed the call and "yOu'Re tErRiBlE!"when in reality, he wouldn't know a rulebook If one hit him square between the eyes.
It's always the most ignorant that scream the loudest

It's not semantics. I pointed out that you didn't know the rule and then made an arse of yourself. You should really be more careful about calling someone a fricking moron on a topic where they're right and you completely missed the mark. It's amazing your dumb arse is still trying to spin this.

Not to mention far too pussified to ever step on the field. The biggest pussies are the most vociferous.

How can you realistically have 11 on the line?

Refs missed the call. RT was uncovered and therefore an ineligible receiver. Didn’t report as “eligible”. Would have bumped them out of FG range.
They had 2-3 downfield illegally the way they line up. That is what he was talking about...when they all went down field some of them weren't eligible...

I read through this thinking someone would copy/paste the actual rule from the rule book, but nothing so far. It’s like arguing for pages about what the Bible says but not bothering to open and read it.

The problem is the actual rule and how the officials execute the enforcement of the rule look at 2 different things.

here you go:
quote:
Offensive Team Requirements—At the Snap
ARTICLE 4 Violation of each of the following (a-c) is a live-ball foul; the play is allowed to continue
a Formation. At the snap Team A must be in a formation that meets these
requirements:
1 All players must be inbounds
2 All players must be either linemen or backs (Rule 2-27-4, AR 7-1-
4-VIII)
3 At least five linemen must wear jerseys numbered 50 through 79
(Exception: When the snap is from a scrimmage kick formation, par
5 below)
4 No more than four players may be backs
and here is the definition of linemen and back:
quote:
Lineman and Back
ARTICLE 4 a Lineman
1 A lineman is any Team A player legally on their scrimmage line (Rule
2-21-2)
2 A Team A player is legally on the scrimmage line when facing their
opponent’s goal line with the line of their shoulders approximately parallel thereto and either (a) they are the snapper (Rule 2-27-8) or (b) their head breaks the plane of the line drawn through the waistline of the snapper
b Interior Lineman An interior lineman is a lineman who is not on the end of their scrimmage line
c Restricted Lineman A restricted lineman is any interior lineman, or any lineman wearing a number 50-79, whose hand(s) are below the knees
d Back
1 A back is any Team A player who is not a lineman and whose head
or shoulder does not break the plane of the line drawn through the waistline of the nearest Team A lineman

so you can have a MAXIMUM of 4 backs, but there is no minimum requirement for backs.
well, somebody has to take the snap, so I guess technically you have to have at least 1.
