Of course, mistakes are common.

Solomon WILCOTS may have just been in a hurry and made a slip. However, on the particular play that he was breaking down, I believe Cushing was pointed out as being the MIKE. That has to do with how the blocking will slide. Perhaps you've seen a QB walk up to the C and point out a player and say "56 is the MIKE"?
