My issue with this is the concept that the "ball has to be in the FBZ." Obviously, the idea behind the first post is that the ball isn't in the zone because of the depth of the QB so why should A (or B for that matter too) be allowed the same privileges that the FBZ allows. My question is, what the difference between a shotgun formation or a regular scrimmage formation? The depth of the QB. The O and D lines don't get a better jump. The chance of injury is still the same.
I think the intent behind the "ball in zone" verbiage is to say that they cannot do it after the play has developed some. For instance a reverse or something like that.
