I copied that wrong, I meant "behind" not beyond. That is why it should have been blown dead. What I wrote initially makes no sense, just typed wrong. Should have proofed that one better.
I understand what you're saying here, but I have to disagree with the separation of the "neutral zone" and the "expanded neutral zone". They are one in the same. 2-27-2 says "The neutral zone may be expanded following the snap up to a mazimum of 2 yards behind the defensive line of scrimmage, in the field of play during any scrimmage down." Thus my center was in the neutral zone when he posessed the ball.

This has been a fun one for me. We talked about it for a good 15-20 minutes during our pre-game today
