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