[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 89654, member: 1640"] We did not even get to terms like H-back and Tail-back. I remember when everything was pretty straight forward and offensive players had a set name which did not change even if their position on the filed changed. Ends were either tight or split but no rule required them to line up a particular way. Extra receivers were usually referred to as flanker backs and could split out as wide as they wanted. I could go on but the point is that it seems like there was an understanding that the position had a name and that name stayed even if you lined up in a different place. If was as if the assumption was that you had an "orthodox" function if you played a particular position but you could line up in an "unorthodox" way but your name still stayed the same. Since none of this has been consistently true for the last 50 years I guess coaches now have the right to name positions anything they like except for those which will forever remain the same such as guard, tackle, center etc. [/QUOTE]
