"Traveling" Signal at snap

[bigjohn]

So I assume you are saying I can have all my backs doing jumping jacks at the same time at the snap because that isn't considered more than one in motion.

So a lineman in a two point stance pointing out his blocking assignment needs to be flagged for .........what?

As for the jumping jacks, you could go with false start as it would appear to be a simulated action unless he moved like a turtle or do like was done at Watauga a couple of years back with the motion man doing backflips and pop him for USC.

If you think jumping up and down is the same thing as giving hand signals, then we don't have enough common ground to continue this discussion. I'm out.

[bigjohn]

So if they are waving their arms around without the jumping parts, they are good?

I am just trying to figure out the difference in movement and motion.

BTW our center was warned at the scrimmage not to point out blocking calls so abrupt or false start would be called.

Unless they're perfectly synchronized. In which case, they're The Pips.

I don't think I would flag waiving their arms around without the jumping parts, unless it appeared to simulate the snap. As long as it wasn't abrupt, I see no foul here.
