A rise in offensive shifts designed to make the defense encroach.

I am seeing more and more shift/motion without the 1 second required before motion. Can't get an official to call it though.

When in doubt, it's a second.

If there's an appreciable delay between the shift/motion, it's probably going to be ruled to be a second by most competent crews.

Yup. Because (almost) nobody wants a pile of procedure flags in a game.
