Do you see this being a Penalty in near Future

[Coach Nowlin]

I know I do not want to ask some Eastbrook folks this, but this cannot become a norm can it?

You should've just stuck to "I think this is a foul". You lose all credibility by saying he took two steps forward before the snap. Not even close.

Lol. Then we can agree to disagree. The guy literally takes 2 steps forward before the snap. I think this is a foul anywhere on the field. I know it’s a foul in this situation advantage/disadvantage he mistimed the snap and yes should be called

If you think he took 2 steps before the snap then you must consider the snap to be when the QB receives it and starts moving. The snap begins when the snapper starts to move it. That is so close to when the guy in motion moves forward you don't want to be that technical. It can be misleading when you see the back move before anyone else. That's not a false start. Early in my career I would have a false start when I would see the receiver move before the line or the T move before the G. Then I would watch video and realize the ball and player moved at the same time, but the rest of the players were slightly delayed. We often get coaches screaming a guy is moving/leaving early, but when you review it on video he's leaving the same time the ball is moving so so close you don't want to be that technical. Even a half second looks like a huge gap.

It always comes down to the definitions in Rule 2. You haven’t mastered the definitions, you can’t intelligently discuss the rules of play.
