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 gets complicated with injuries and special teams coaches are generally working with back ups of offense and defense so that availability change drastically over the season week to week.

    It’s still insane that it happened it’s not as insane as a player who is never out there going out there just for the heck of it. More than 12 players on a team have been out on a FG block unit.
