And this probably wasn't a legal snap either. This was not a continuous backward motion and I would assume that a continuous motion is part of the NFL definition of a snap but I am not sure. The snapper first picked up the ball to "load up" on the snap. It happened very quickly but I'm sure that the officials knew what was going on when that formation showed up.
I did not think he "loaded up" at all. It looked as if he just did it in one motion, but that is my opinion.
