Hear me out. Lifting the heel is a signal, so, if A1 is already in motion what does the heel lift signal? Is A1 in motion by mistake and can the defense expect A2 to go in motion? Is A1 in motion as part of a shift and the signal is for A2 to also shift? Is the QB confused? Is the signal meant to confuse the defense and quickly followed by a snap?
My point being the spirit and the intent of the rule is to set the offense for a second. Is the leg lift a way to deceive the defense?
