Good points, felllas. I think it should have been enforced as an illegal planned loose ball.

Rule 7-2-8 states:
Any A player on his line of scrimmage may not advance a planned loose
ball in the vicinity of the snapper.

But, then on the other hand, their intention was to "push" the ball forward past the marker and then jump on it. Therefore that rule doesn't apply, right?

This concerns me. In other words, if they adjust this trick play into a
planned muff, we have not found any evidence in the rules book that
makes this play illegal.

My hunch is that it is not a play common to the game of football.

Please send me your thoughts/feedback.
