If a player is lined up at tackle, they can't be an eligible receiver. WTF are you talking about?

I thought the Pats were doing it like crazy against the Ravens a couple years back? I know for sure we had Kelce lined up as a tackle for one play, I believe it was last year. See if I can find it. |

If you are lined up as one of the five down lineman, you are an ineligible receiver.

So to answer your original question, no this will not become a trend in the NFL. |

D-
As an addendum to the earlier posts, anyone who is covered by another player at the LOS is not eligible. Since you have to have seven players on the line, five will be ineligible regardless.

This talks about the Patriots play as well as receiver eligibility:
http://www.footballzebras.com/2015/0...ity-reporting/ "All coaches have a few plays that require extra blocking protection, which is typically accomplished by having one of the linemen outside of the interior line position where an eligible receiver is required. To make the formation compliant, the lineman playing out of position must report as “eligible” to the referee." |

The pats exposed a flaw in the rulebook when they had a receiver line up as a pseudo right tackle which then made the left most lineman on the field an eligible receiver, although not verbally declared. The receiver would report as ineligible which then the defense would quickly have to use deduction to figure out who is the eligible receiver. It's dirty in the sense a normal one-play declaration to report as tackle eligible applies to a player wearing number 50-79 clearly announces who is declaring themselves as a pseudo tight end but the Pats went a round about way to disguise the player
To answer the OP, it's not happening |
