As I understand the rule, to go in motion from a position which the player started on the line, he must have established himself as a back... by stopping for 1 full second, then go in motion, and be 5 yards behind his LOS at the snap... Am I confused on something here?
You are confused a little. If an end goes in motion from the line of scrimmage without stopping and re setting in the back field, then he must be at least 5 yards off the line of scrimmage at the snap. A must still have 7 men on the los.
If the A player steps off the line and re sets in the backfield for at least 1 second, then he may go in motion parallel with the los and does not need to be at least 5 yards behind the los. Again make sure that A still has 7 on the los.
The act of resetting in the backfield, makes this player a back and not an end, taking away the necessity to be at least 5 yards behind the los at the snap.
