Title: False Start vs Illegal Motion
Post by: TXMike on November 04, 2012, 05:29:33 PM

2 videos  I think false start would have been the correct call in both, not illegal motion.  Thoughts?

Agree on both.
In #2 how many times do we hear "he can reset"!?
Not unless he's playing on Sunday Coach.

Also agree on both.  In both clips the A player clearly and simply beats the snap count.  That's a blow & throw DB false start.  Also, why do some of us insist on calling a single player moving forward at the snap like this one "illegal shift"?  Where does that come from?  Maybe in some cases it could be illegal motion but certainly not illegal shift.
