Diagrams are canonical renderings of each formation and its most-used personnel group. Play-by-play records who was on the field, not where they stood — alignment detail comes from player tracking, which is not published in the public feed. The “on the field” counts are real: they are the players the ball actually reached out of that look, so linemen never appear.
