It's not a matter of disagreement - Your statement was a complete reversal of the actual rule we're talking about. If it was a typo as one suggested ... fine... but missing a "not" as a typo makes a pretty big difference, don't you think? Calling someone out for saying the opposite of the truth is not being an "ass". |

I didn't play it with audio, so I don't know if there are any words to go along with the actions, but I don't think there need to be in this case. |
If this was the first time the whole game that this action has occured, then it was probably an act to draw the defense offsides, however if they have done it all game, it is nothing. On a side note, last night, had a team do this, well the part with all the lineman standing up and it was in the fourth quarter in a pretty tight game, and they hadn't done it all night. Defense didn't jump, but our crew talked about it, and if they had we were going with a penalty against the offense.

We had a second round playoff game last week where on fourth down the punting team lined up in a two point stance and at a designed time, stood up and abruptly looked towards the sideline. Defense jumped. False start. No brainer for me. |

The proof of that, for me, is that the only three offensive players who moved were the snapper, the QB, and the WR. To me, that makes it obvious that the actions were designed to make the defense think the snap wasn't imminent. |

Scrounge, we're from the same part of the world, so let me ask you this (and I don't mean this question as any kind of insult or rudeness). Do you think this is good football? Is this play what the game is really about? What you want to watch on Friday, or Saturday, or Sunday? If not (and now I'll address a wider audience), why do so many people work so hard to get this crap into the game on a technical and dubious reading of the rules? There are legal ways to catch the defense napping: no huddle, quick counts, etc. Do we really need these cheap ways too? Defense is hard enough in a game that is evolving to make for higher scoring games. Let's not make it too hard. |

Maven you make a great point. You got me to really think about it and you are partially right. This is kind of bush league and I wouldnt want to see this dominate the game. However if I see it once or twice a season, I am ok with that. I just really wish we had sound on this play to hear what was being yelled out. For all we know someone could have been yelling, "snap it now!" |
