um...the guy has covered receivers going out for passes...the plays dont resemble dw plays either , but yes, the dw system we employ sometimes uses 8 and even 9 men on the line of scrimmage.

The one guy said that would be an illegal formation. Why would it be illegal? If the inside TE goes out for a pass, that would be illegal, right, because he is covered up, by why wouldn't you be able to run the ball out of this formation?

You can have MORE than 7 on the los, but AT LEAST seven is required...I think the NFL has changed their rule to limit the line to 7 now right? anyone know for sure?

Didn't mean the actual plays they drew up. Sorry. I just found it amusing that some fans (especially UT ones) that were trying to come up with a creative/innovative offense would draw up what is virtually the DW. Not that I don't like the DW, don't get me wrong. But if they actually rolled that out on the field the coaches would get roasted!

we all get roasted til we hang "half a hundred" on someone without a single pass.

Pretty sure you are right calande, you can have more on the line than 7, but in the NFL you are not allowed more than 7.

Steve: Until I see a rule cite, this language from nfl.com appears to be definitive: "1. Offensive team must have at least seven players on line." |
