Wow! I know I'm only in my first year at the umpire position but even I know to stand up and don't move in that case. I don't understand why he dropped his shoulder like that. That just didn't look good.

No it doesn't look "good", but I bet it's a lot better than the view from a stretcher as you're carted off the field after getting run over.

I do not work umpire above high school JV for a reason.

Don't know what his intent was but it sure didn't look good. I looked like he had plenty of time to step to this left and turn to allow the runner to pass by.

Why was he moving to his right?

Pivot! And when in doubt, don't move, they usually adjust to you.

Anyone hear the announcers questioning the officials about offsetting a 5-yard illegal shift (??) and a 15-yard roughing the passer?

To summarize what they said,

We are going to need to check the rulebook on that one. I don't think that's right. In the NFL, a minor and a major foul don't offset.
