Excuse my ignorance, but what’s up with this? I don’t recall seeing it before last weekend. Half a second before the snap, an offensive lineman rapidly points forward.

Two questions:

  1. Is there an exception under the false start rules that makes this OK?
  2. Why are they doing it? To try to make the defense jump?
