The mechanic was ugly, and no, I've never seen anyone put out a foot and then put the ball ahead of it. I'd say it's about 75% foot at the front of the ball and 25% ball between the two feet... but as Rich says, he's got the spot and he's putting the ball down himself, not signalling to anyone else. It looked bad, and I'm with Jeff that it looked worse that he peaked back before (apparently) giving an extra 2 feet or so... And more of concern is that he stopped the clock immediately, like he knew it was a first down (normally, that's not HL's job on a play to his side), and then corrected it when he realized he erred in stopping the clock for what he was spotting as a non-first-down.
That said - I think the spot was RIGHT. It was just ugly.
