False Start?

If this is your standard, then it must be the standard for all shifts because the tackle's movement is legal.

Suudy, In my opinion, once the end moves off the line (and even before he sets at a new position) A2 is now positioned on the end of the line and can reset. For example, if A3 is the end and A2 is the tackle and A3 gets up and wanders into the backfield, A2 is now and end and can reset. A3 could then wander back to the line and get set again as the end. The restriciton on A2 is turned off and turned on again depending on A3's position. Of course they all have to be set a second before the snap.

It is a heck of a lot different when that player is in a 3 pt stance, which you do not see often unless in a situation like that. If he does not come up slow, he will be simulating the start of the play for sure and I bet most will say is should be a FS.
