Only half right.
2-8 ENCROACHMENT: "Encroachment occurs when a player is illegally in the neutral zone during the
time interval starting when the ball is marked ready for play and until the ball is
snapped or free kicked."
Notice that it says "illegally in the NZ." When I'm a wing, a player lining up before the snap will not be
illegally in the NZ, and so not guilty of encroachment.
