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?”

I can absolutely seen a situation where two packages get called or there is confusion on the side lines. You hear the STC call your package and you run out to the field. Then a flag flies. You come back to the sidelines pissed off.

“Dude called x package. I just did what I’m told.”
