I was always of the thought that offsides/encroachment (depending on the level) is always called when a player is in the NZ, reguardless of ad/disad. When a DL is in the NZ, but moving back to his side at the snap, he is probably at a disadvantage by already having backwards momentum at the snap--yet that is basically always called.
As for worse than Hochuli's call--that is something for the talking heads to debate, but the wrong call is the wrong call (not saying this call was wrong--just that it is a silly debate to say one is worse that the other).
