If you are deceiving the opponent in this manner, I don't agree...and your citation doesn't back that up, IMO. Let's say all 11 participate in previous play. wide out had a half hearted run block outside and never comes back within the 9's...I'd agree with you.
If A11 comes in off sidelines
and you determine it is solely to trick the defense last few seconds before the snap to be uncovered, that is what 9-6-4d was written and intended for.
Reworded by removing a few words: "To use a player.......to deceive opponents
at or immediately before the snap or free kick."
Does anyone have a case book example ?
