That's why it's impossible for us to give you any meaningful information without video.

Extremely true. I've run out of extremities to count the number of times a coach described his super-nifty trick play that no one had ever thought of in pre-game, to make sure we're aware of it and that it's legal... only to find that when the rubber met the road the execution of it was not exactly like the description - and ended up getting flagged.
"C'Mon ref, we went over that in pregame."
"Coach ... that mess looked NOTHING like what you described in pregame."
