Illegal shift?

You could call it a false start. It's judgement here. Just because a player or players move from one legal position to another does not necessarily deem that it's legal. Consider the TE who moves to early and attempts to cover it by going in motion...this is a false start.

Not if he's uncovered and doesn't draw the defense into the NZ.
