That is quite a list. And some really good points. I printed it off for future reading. Thanks for that list.

I do have one question. Lets see what everyone else thinks. #14 on that list talked about a man in motion with a QB stepping back at the snap. It is true that nobody really was put in a disadvantage. What if the Qb was stepping forward at the snap? Was anyone at a disadvantage? I doubt it personally. That particular line, #14, might be the only one I kinda disagree with. There are other fouls that happen and maybe no disadvantage results, but a foul is a foul. I had a similar situation. Man in motion, Qb calling signals under center. QB says "down, set" and at this time the rest of the off line puts their hands down in a 3 point stance. Keep in mind, there was still a man in motion. This is an illegal shift. However, I really don't think that B was put into a disadvantage because of it. But you can bet that more than one flag was thrown.
