So call a false start! How Hard is that?!
Well, I think what he was saying is that the refs cannot see the play clearly. The bunched together lineup of the O-Line and the rest of the offense is like nothing else we've seen. Goal line offense lineups still gave the possibility of the pass to keep the defense honest. The lineup used for this play is like nothing else we've ever seen.
The offensive tackles are actually lined up in a way that does block the view of the guards. They are the biggest players on the field as we know... their bodies and giant melons can easily conceal the normal view of the inner O-Line from the refs who are staring down the line of scrimmage from each side of the field. Even if this is happening by accident, it blocks the view of the guards. But is it by accident? I would say so if just one of the guards jumped a little bit early... but what we see now is both guards jumping early like a precision dance move while being concealed by the biggest bookends of humans on the planet.
This comes from a ref who was at the highest level possible. He was the person sharing that the play is impossible to ref. We all can see that he is being 100 % honest in his description of what's happening on that play. It's not an excuse or fantasy... it's the truth.
Pushing the ball carrier forward from behind was illegal in football my whole life until they changed that common sense rule in the last few years. That was a terrible mistake.
In the meantime, I recommend that we sign a little person to the team for what could be our special version of this anti-football play. Let's just find the smallest little person we can find... when we need a yard for a first down or are being stood up on the goal line.... bring in our little dude and have him jump into the arms of our strongest player so that he can literally toss his whole body while he's holding the ball completely over the heads and hands of the defensive players. That is basically the same bastardization of the spirit of football as we're seeing now with this bs play. Seriously.
This isn't a football play... it's a way to cheat the spirit of the game. Pushing ball carriers forward from behind with your biggest dudes is blasphemy to the spirit of the sport. These fucks Philly have it down to a ballroom worthy dance move that was designed to hide the offsides of their guards purposefully jumping into the defense. It's total bullshit.
