@TylerKluver@tjmcaulay I think the part that getting left out is that teams are using the numbering exception to create the confusion and that's not what that rule is designed for. As long as you have 5 guys with ineligible numbers you can line up however you want.
@ChadLeistikow It doesn't matter if the heel or toe is down inbounds first if the rest of the foot lands out of bounds. The whole foot has to be inbounds. If it's just the toe dragging inbounds that is considered inbounds and that is all you need in.
