Now, lets add something to this. What if a22's action (moving backwards) simulated the snap (picked up real quick and stepped backwards). THIS is now the false start. Dead play. Nothing else matters? There would be no ill shift (due to no snap happening).Correct????
Yes, if A22's action simulates action at the snap, (and it did as you described) Then we have a dead ball false start and the play is blown dead at that point.
5 yard penalty, and repeat the down - NFHS 7-1-7a
Let's hope we don't have a repeat of the down
