rtdirish Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Unless there is a rule change in UIL this year it is not legal in Texas yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
football Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 It is legal in Texas as long as you line up 7 yards deep(scrimmage kick formation), have 7 men on the line of scrimmage, and only those not covered up on the line go down field.

elhector1 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 It does look interesting. The way I understand it, is that because of the jersey numbering system, anyone can be a receiver, as long as no one has lined up outside of him. What it does is create confusion for defenses, because you never know which guys are going to be the eligible receivers until the last second. A coach who can think on his feet will not have a problem, but traditionalists will have a cow, as this upsets the set play mentality that they have. These "purists" usually have the 300 lb heifers on the D line, and good linebackers and safetys as well. What the A-11 does is spread the field, as now you have 7 receivers to worry about, instead of 3-5. This is a boon for teams that might not have size, but do have agility and speed. Look for it to be killed, simply 'cause it's not real "fooseball" as we now understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmac Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 This web site explains the A-11.
