Our group is not totally pleased with your deliberate attempt at "hiding" the fact that there is a petition drive going on at a national level by teams in many states and California to keep the offense going for teams like ours, and other teams like ours. It would have been more honest of you Zeng8r to have listed that point, because there is a long way to go, and to purposefully delete that fact is not acknowledging the truth. But, since you are determined to do so, we have no choice but to succumb to your editorial power at this time. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/69.110.34.116|69.110.34.116]] ([[User talk:69.110.34.116|talk]]) 19:11, 15 March 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

::This user/users has/have ignored many helpful wikilinks and suggestions over the past few weeks, which is why he/they have been blocked twice. A request for sources was already made long ago and may still be on this talkpage somewhere if he/they didn't delete it during one of his/their many page wipes. That info would be just fine if cited and written in a non-promotional tone.

:It's mentioned obliquely in the article that the five (interior) linemen are ineligible. All backs (including the quarterback) and the two players on the ends of the line of scrimmage are eligible. I'm not sure if it's worth spelling out who's eligible a little more. —'''[[User:C.Fred|C.Fred]]''' ([[User_talk:C.Fred|talk]]) 05:51, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

The concept is difficult to explain to non-football fans without getting into some deep jargon, but I tried to clarify that section a bit more. Feel free to streamline it some more. --[[User:Zeng8r|Zeng8r]] ([[User talk:Zeng8r|talk]]) 23:54, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

== NFL - contradictory statements ==
 
The article states that the NFL "imposed an additional rule to discourage teams from placing players with eligible numbers at an ineligible position (Bill Belichick had used such a strategy during select games in the 2014 season); as of the 2015 season, players with eligible numbers must line up in a position that makes it obvious that they are ineligible." So the NFL rule is to ''discourage'' placing players with eligible numbers at ineligible positions. Therefore, as of 2015, the rule states that players with eligible numbers ''must line up'' in an ineligible position. This is obviously contradictory.
