If you’re the 12th man on special teams shouldn’t you be aware of it? (alien.top)

Do teams not use the same 11 players on field goal blocks for every play?

I can understand how you get 12 players on defense because someone was confused about what package you’re running, but if you’re the 12th guy on special teams shouldn’t you stop and think “Hey, I’m not usually out here for these plays, maybe I’m an extra?”

Its miscommunication between the HC and special teams coach.. they were probably going to sub a player in and the HC send in Player A and the special teams send in player B..

Someone fucked up and you have 12 men on the field..
