A TE may go in motion as long as he isn't in a three point stance. He must either a) go in motion and be at least 5 yards behind the LOS at the time of the snap, or b) pause for one second in the backfield, then go in motion.

Just be careful about calling this guy a "tight end". He's covered up by the outside receiver so he's not an "end". He's an ineligible lineman with an eligible number. [/B]

Nothing wrong with the tight end term on this. He is a tight end requardless if he is on the end of the line or not. It is the name of a position much as in a QB or RB. Shannon Sharpe was a tight end. He lined up in a number of positions but he was always a "tight end" and certainly not always on an end.
