The thread doesn't say if the wide receiver is a back or an end. Backs and ends in this situation will be treated in the same way for some actions and differently for others.
It is a false start if any player simulates action at the snap. Back can go in motion after all 11 offensive players have set for 1 second and doesn't have to stop. An end can also go in motion but there better be 7 other players legally on the line. If the end stops for one second in the backfield he becomes a back and is subject to the motion rules as a back. If he fails to stop, he must be at least 5 yards behind the LOS when the ball is snapped. Wing men should judge first if the wide receiver is either guilty of false start or if he encroached. If yes to either, blow it dead. If not, be ready to call a motion violation if it is one. Did anyone here consider that Team A can call time out to avoid the motion penalty!!! In this situation, you must first know the rules on FS, IM, Illegal shift, encroachment,and illegal formation(i.e six on line), then see the action, then make the call,.
