At the same clinic, it was very interesting to hear the college officials talk about fouls. Specifically, they said that they would never call a foul for a Ineligible downfield if a WR covered an inside receiver and both were on the line. They would rule that one of the guys was behind the other and let the play go. While that makes sense from an "advantage gained" perspective, what's the point of our very specific definitions of Linemen, Backs, "lines drawn through the waist of the snapper" and all the rest?
By that same logic, they wouldn't call a foul for a 6 man line, they would rule that one of the guys was on, and let the play go.
Thoughts?
