And it seems interesting that QBs are allowed to do just about anything they want (still) to draw the D offside, but there's a rule specifically written to make it hard for the defense to counter with some tricks of their own.
It seems that we coach the D to watch the ball and react to it alone...even in 2nd grade football, but the offense knows the snap count yet they need a rule to help them hear it instead of watching the ball. Obviously I played on the D side of the ball so I'm biased just a little.
What's next, not being able to shift the defense audibly because it might confuse the offense as they shift and don't get reset properly before the snap? LOL!!!

It was tough to tell exactly what part was illegal (and, presumably, it's a bit of a judgement call). It was on a FG attempt, and the linebacker was the only one behind the line. He made a big, sudden gesture, and apparently must've yelled something. At the same time, the entire set of 10 guys on the line all jumped to the left.
