Literally Dreamed This One Up

I hate to say it, but I didn't get to rule on the play in my dream (to my knowledge). In the dream, it was more of true confusion and I don't have a tape so I can't verify the team was actually fully set. (LOL)

I asked the question here because initially I would rule the play legal, but others who I have some respect for have brought up valid points about snapping the ball when it is unclear a snap is imminent.

At this point, I feel intention plays a key role in determining the legality of this play. True confusion = no flag but all other pre-snap conditions must be met. Designed = flag. Hopefully a coach tells us about a play like this before the game and we can set him straight.
