Title: QB Movement
Post by: dcs07 on September 21, 2014, 07:52:13 PM: Talking with some coaches at the school I support and they had a couple plays they wanted me to ask you all about. They are wondering about the forward movement of the QB on these two plays.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jro4wAD88v8&feature=youtu.be (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jro4wAD88v8&feature=youtu.be) (There is wide and tight of 2 plays)

I'm not an official though I try to be very educated about the rules and not wind up in the "From the Coaches" thread. For my opinion, I told them that there might be some forward movement that's close though its unlikely that it would be called with that close of a scrutiny. Even if he steps forward it seems by interpretation that we have a more lenient view toward QB movement. I did say I would ask the experts though.

As a side note, what's with the coaches all over the white and on the field?

Agree, he is clearly moving forward at the snap on each play.
