"illegal Stemming" (video)

what if they flinch on a hard count? wouldnt that be a normal defensive player movement?

would it still be a delay of game?

Hard count, soft count, any kind of count. It doesn't matter. It's still DOG of their action is an obvious attempt to make the offense commit a false start.

There is at least 1 major conference which has directed their guys to be tough on the defense for movement that causes the offense to react.  They do not seem to have to even judge whether it was a deliberate attempt by the defense to cause the false start

Like forcing D-linemen to be totally still until the ball is snapped? Not even the offense has that restriction

I don't believe Mike is saying that.
