Excuse my ignorance, but what’s up with this? I don’t recall seeing it before last weekend. Half a second before the snap, an offensive lineman rapidly points forward.

Two questions:

  1. Is there an exception under the false start rules that makes this OK?

  2. Why are they doing it? To try to make the defense jump?

    Pointing out some aspect of the blocking usually the Mike Linebacker or a Blitzer or who they got so everyone has a starting point to where they will have to shift.
