Did they simulate action at the snap?

Is that rhetorical or are you asking?

What is the definition of simulating action? They certainly shifted "hard" which I guess could be a simulation of action.

Humm, a fan (from Utah) saying "I don't know why a shift is permitted in some instances and not others" when the call (and the correct call) went against his team.

The Utah HC was pissed at the call, but it was clearly designed to make the defense encroach. LDUB has cited the correct rules reference (though you might have cited the source, Luke).

Good call.

I'm asking. Because I didn't see it.

It's like porn. You may not be able to define it, but you know it when you see it.

As we all know, what's planned, designed, practiced and beaten into the minds of players isn't what is always executed during a game. It really doesn't matter what the coaches believe satisfies the rule requirements, it's entirely dependent on what the covering official believes, and actually sees.

When teams design something to run so close to the line defining legal from illegal, PRESUMING it's OK, they have to accept the risk that their calculations may not fall on the same side of that line as the covering official's.
