Kasay: Can a Kicker Re-set?

But yes, I've seen this happen a couple times in my lifetime where the kicker "stutters" before he starts. I always wondered if this was illegal/forward motion or a false start... but it was never called.

i was gonna say this. when kasay did this, i thought for sure he was going to miss.

correct. i saw them both move a few seconds before the snap, but one of them set before the snap.
