REPLY: I agree that this play is patently illegal and should be stopped. But it does call a fundamental embodied in NF 2-16-4 into question: Since you can't flag this early (maybe the QB really is confused about the play or maybe they really do need the tee), you've got to wait until the ball is snapped to see the intent play out, and then flag it. In essence, once the ball is snapped, you now have a foul which causes the live ball to become dead.
Not saying it's not right to do so, but it is in conflict with a Fed rule.
