COMMENT: Football has been and
always will be a game of deception and trickery involving multiple shifts, unusual formations and creative plays. However, actions or verbiage designed to confuse the defense into believing there is problem and a snap isn’t imminent is
beyond the scope of sportsmanship and is illegal.
True. If you change the play entirely and add things not posted --- the ruling could be different. As usual.
