Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 2710761, member: 874"] Because defenders need to know who to defend and shouldn't be expected to stare at the numbers on the jerseys to know who, in the mass of humanity after the snap, is an eligible receiver. Think about a scramble play like McNabb used to pull off where everything gets crazy. In the midst of that the Center runs 15 yards down field. Now a LB, not sure if he is the Center or a TE hesitates, while the TE runs open 10 yards down field. The TE gets the catch, the C blocks the guy "defending" him, and the TE goes for 25 yards. How would that be fair? [/QUOTE]
