I could ask "Why" on a ton of the NFL's rules.
because 5 is too few and 7 is too many.
The number would be 3.
It's seven men, and it's to declare eligible/ineligible receivers. Any player on the line of scrimmage that is not covered by another player on the line of scrimmage is ineligible to receive passes. Alignment/judgment is based on which side of the ball a player lines up.
Yes. See the diagrams above. LSU ran out something like this against OSU on the aforementioned play:so then the rule is something like there can only be 6 eligible receivers (including qb)??
thank you dan for the insight
