Because if so, they're not allowed to come up from that. Even if they do it "smoothly." There's no judgment call in this regard. False start.

Thanks everyone, for the insight.

Do we all agree on the portion above?

A lineman being "down in his stance" does not entail a hand on the ground, because a 2-point stance is legal.
