I got into a debate on another forum about this. I'm not going to have time to judge if the QB is 7 yards or 5 yards behind the line of scrimmage to determine if the snapper has protection. The intent of this rule is to protect the long snapper on a scrimmage kick (thus the term scrimmage kick formation). Anything else he's on his own. I'm sure others will disagree and that's fine. This is just one where I go with the spirit of the rule rather than the letter of the rule.
