He does actually, but it's after the ball is snapped.

He starts at the 30, is at the 30.5 when the ball is snapped, then runs on the 31 for about 2 steps before turning upfield

I’ve never paid attention, is this illegal motion common and not penalized?

Here’s the play:

Ha, so blatantly obvious

That's about the worst LBer play I've ever seen.

Yeah that was bad. Seemed like maybe he was anticipating a swing pass.

Not common. It's illegal. A good coach would be in the linesman's ear about it

They'll usually get a little leeway, but that should have been flagged.

He moves forward half a yard forward, but then starts to go lateral again.

He was drifting forward, although the drift does get more pronounced just as the

We must be watching a different play. He starts his motion lateral, and then goes vertical as the ball is snapped.

I wouldn't say vertical until later but never levels out that's ridiculous

Yeah, just checked, he's definitely moving forward when the snap occurs.

displacedute

He's almost to the line of scrimmage at the snap

The running back is even with the QB when the ball is hiked

Probably called a penalty 80% of the time. Pretty uncommon for it to be so obvious and not called.

Why are we talking about the CFL on CB? Who cares?

The Y's Insider

Aug 30, 11:36am

because Utah is so far north, we think they should leave the Big12 for the CFL

it is generally not called

He's running at like a 45-degree angle. Barely bowing forward?

What?

No way. That's an easy flag.

Yikes! Someone who actually knows (as compared to the rest of CB).

Shocking that a displacedute would support this. kind of like their displaced

It's called but I don't think this actually impacted the play
