Would that be because the running back is part of a shift? In order to be legally in motion when the ball is snapped does the running back have to wait one second until after the linemen are down to begin his motion? Or can he just go in motion anytime after the linemen are down (at a point less than one second.) This all seems really picky no matter how you cut it but I had an older official tell me all this so I just want to know
