Perhaps you're right about that. But if that's what we're talking about here -- the question whether the football move started before or after the tackle began -- it's just a simple judgment call that could go either way, no different from dozens of close plays every day in the NFL. It's certainly not worthy of Theisman's ire or the attention paid to it.
All that said, as I said, I have no idea if I'm actually correct about the interpretation.
