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?”

Team makes decision for regular defense to stay on the field >>> ST coordinator changes mind and sends out the field goal blocking unit >>> this doesn’t get communicated to or gets missed by 1 guy, who incidentally hasn’t played a down of football in some time.
