Fullback "lunges" forward?? There's your answer. Backs shifting or going in motion do not "lunge" forward. You will never see such a play go off on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Every single college official and NFL official that I know would shut the play down. Nothing good can happen letting that play go off. And all that horse hockey about "He's a back. He can reset" went out with ballooned cotton knickers and stirrup socks. A back can reset ONLY if he hasn't committed a false start. The back in the original post has.

I agree wholeheartedly. Missed snap count=simulating action at the snap

I agree that "lunges" implies simulating action at the snap...
but I don't agree that missing the snap count means that it is an automatic false start. You have to see it to call it and use good judgment.
