That was where the conversation really went. Frequently we'll see a shift where the tight end will shift to the other end of the line, the flanker will move up, and the split end will move back. Or the tight-end will move into a slot position, then the flanker moves up. Only ends and backs are moving, so nothing strange.
The question really hovered around the timing. How soon after the movement by the split end to uncover the tackle is required before the tackle can move? Does the split end have to establish himself as a back for any amount of time before the tackle is free to move?
