Despite what the case book says, it has been determined around here that in a shotgun formation no blocks below the waist will be allowed. Our opinion is the ball is out of the zone faster than most linemen can react to the snap and start their "dive" which our local interpreter has confirmed via tape. Even simpler to officiate. In the preseason meetings with the coaches, this has been explained and acknowledged.
