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?
They saw a penny on the ground and thought it was important for everyone to know. Obviously the refs can’t call False Start for that
