What is the least you can have on offensive line?

5. left tackel, left guard, center, right guard, right tackel. but that's if you have four wide receivers on the field. if you have three wide receivers then you must have a tight end on either side of the line which makes 6 people on the O-line. and if you have one wide receiver on the field you must have another tight end, once again on either side of the field, on the same side as the other tight end or on the opposite end. which would make 7 people on the O-line. so really it just depends on how many wide receivers are on the field.

A WR is a abbreviation for Wide Receiver. The WR's job is to exucute the route the play has defined for the WR.

What position does TE stand for in football?

Tight end. The tight end lines up on the end of the offensive line. Tight ends usually do a lot of blocking and sometimes go out for passes.I play tight end its easy and fun. The offense has to have exactly 7 players lined up on the line of scrimmage. (The other 4 players must be behind the line.) The two players on the end of the line can go out for passes. (The inside linemen can't.) Split ends are wide receivers who are on the line of scrimmage but stand out on the side of the field, split away from the others. Tight ends stay in tight, next to the inside linemen. Usually there is only one tight end on the field, and his side of the line is called the "strong side." The other side is called the "weak side." If the offense needs to run the ball, they might put a second tight end on the line to provide extra blocking power.

What is an uncovered tight end?

A covered Tight End is a Tight End with a Wide Receiver outside of him on the line of scrimmage. If you want a Tight End eligible for a pass, he must not be covered up by another player since the only eligible receivers are those with the correct number (not 50-79) who are either in the back field or the last men on the line of scrimmage. Therefore having a player outside of the Tight End on the line of scrimmage is "covering" him up. A covered Tight End is legal for run and pass as long as the covered Tight End is not going out for a pass.


Is the tight end an eligible receiver if he is covered by a wide receiver?

If the split end is on the line, no. If this wideout is actually a flanker - not on the line, then that would put the TE on the end making him eligible. A tight end is called an end because he is on the end of the line. Eligible receivers are all players in the backfield (not on the line of scrimmage), plus the the two linemen that are on each end of the line. The other requirement for eligibles is that they be numbered 1-49 or 80-99. A common foul is when a wide out lines up on the end of the line on the same side as the tight end, then a tight end is downfield (beyond the expanded 2 yard neutral zone) goes downfield while a forward pass travels beyond the line of scrimmage. In this case, the wide out erred in lining up wrong, or the tight end should have known he was covered and thus ineligible.
