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?”

It’s interesting that the Broncos pulled off the “fast switch FG” twice in a game. The irony here is, Buffalo got the worst case scenario:
- while a FG block isn’t impossible, it’s quite unlikely
- have too many men on the field
- first FG misses, second post-penalty makes
- game was literally win or lose, a FG miss doesn’t send you into OT tied up.
You’d think having previously executed having the right guess out there in that scenario would’ve helped.
Every man on the field was the 12th man on the field.
I thought the twelfth man was the crowd
How about coming off a Timeout where the Broncos were clearly going for a game winning FG you don’t send your defense out and then try to match them switching personnel within 6 seconds.
If McDermott puts the FG block team on the field they don’t NEED to rush guys off/on when the Broncos are.
Injuries, blocking scheme of the play, where the FG is being kicked from all can cause different personel on the field
Why don’t teams just have a set play design when opposing teams try to run into FG formation? Just line up and let them kick, it’s not like it matters anyways
