Myth or Rule?

doesn't matter I guess!

Nothing in that rule says they can't shift AFTER all 11 are set for 1 second.

They simply have to reset for 1 second again before the ball is snapped.

They can do this as many times as they like within the allotted play clock time.

Double BS.

1- You enjoy nothing more than spewing such crap to make officials look bad.

2- No rule says he must stop moving once his hand is down. There's no such thing as the "spirit of the rule" saying anything.

Start your hibernation, bigjohn. See you in August.
