Once the ball is snapped, inches in one direction or another is not going to matter a bit. Greater discrepanices are mistakenly made when spotting the ball and moving the ball from the side zones. Spotting the football is not an exact science. There are always going to be inches gained and inches lost.
Yup. We do it all the time. Not only on COP situations, but on first downs when we can get away with it, too, on well-marked fields.
