Defense Pull & Shot hold

[MJT]

Buckeyes... the only time you are going to have a foul, other than a snap infraction, during the snap is if it is a snap from a shotgun or scrimmage kick formation and it would still have to be done immediately, as even these snaps are only in the air for less than one second.

You have no foul anyway.....

Rule 2-3-5 says... "A Defensive player may also;
b. Push, pull or ward off an opponent in an actual attempt to get at the runner......"

You are left with the judgement..... was the defensive player intentionally moving the lineman to open the hole for the LB, or was he simply "pulling an opponent" to get past him and to the QB??

The pull and shoot is a techniqued taught by some coaches. You know it when you see it cuz one defensive player will pull and another teammate shoots that gap. When you see that, you know you have a pull and shoot and you have a foul.
