If not that, then is it not a false start for his linemen to stand up from a three point stance and point at the guy who they feel is going to blitz? For the life of me, this crap pisses me off every time I've watched Manning play. I watch out guys get flagged for nothing more than a head bob, then watch these idiots damn near do jumping jacks with all the arm movement and it's never called. I don't claim to be an expert on the rules, so an explanation would be appreciated.
And I understand the NFL is a business and TV ratings are what determines how large their next contract is. Franchise QB's increase ratings, and casual / bandwagon fans aren't going to watch a game when their favorite player (not team) gets hurt. However, if the refs are going to call it one way, the same call should apply to every single team in the NFL.

Funny, but I have been wondering the same thing....I realize that I played College ball in the early 70s..but once in your three or four point stance you could not move.
Just wondering if there was a rule change that I missed?
