Lets look at these types of plays logically.
Even if he went up and said, "Give me the ball", most defenders aren't going to understand what is going on and aren't going to recognize that the ball is "technically" snapped. Even some officials may not recognize it. An offense that uses this type of play uses the defenders restraint against them. Defenders will be restrained because they may fear encroaching or commiting a dead-ball personal foul. If he is acting like there is a problem, then I have a problem with the play and will shut it down. The offense is getting exactly what it wants if we allow these kinds of plays -- defenders in a quandry if the ball is live or not. They don't know UNTIL the QB takes off and runs. What is sporting or legal about this?
