Illegal Motion or False Start

Rut,
I disagree cuz I don't think he missed the snap count, as he did not start to move (lean) until the receiver had been in motion for over 2 seconds. Now if he started his lean the very instant the receiver went in motion, the "missed the snap" would have more bearing and I could see a FS being the correct call. Watch it again keeping in mind what I am saying and see what you think.
