RE: Quarterback in motion

Any official who doesn't see that this is a deception play obviously concentrates more on LETTER OF RULE, than INTENT OF RULE.

I submit that those who enforce the LETTER OF RULE find that they have more problems in a game than the vast majority of us who understand the INTENT OF RULES and enforce them thusly.

Where's the foul in a "quarterback in motion"?? If the actions that have been described in this play (over and over) don't make it readily apparent where the foul is (unsportsmanlike behavior.....orchestrated by the coach....acted out by the QB), than there's not much hope that he will every see the intent of the rule on this one.
