Welcome!

The offense of course commits a dead-ball encroachment foul if they enter the neutral zone after the ready for play and the center has placed his hand(s) on the ball.

Also, the offense can commit a false start foul if an interior lineman lifts his hand(s) from the ground or makes any movement that simulates the start of the play (flinches, jerks, etc.).

Also, the center can jerk the ball and that results in a dead-ball illegal snap foul.

In summary, the offense can commit any of these fouls without actually entering the neutral zone.
