Maybe MM should point that out before the game starts against the Eagles. Maybe the official will call it then.
Maybe but the refs need to call the neutral zone infractions or else why ever call that penalty?

Speaking of which, the penalty that really drive me mad is the offsides penalty when the defensive player moves but does not enter the neutral zone. The refs get fooled sometimes.

As long as he doesn't move toward the line of scrimmage, even at a slight angle, a single motioner can be moving at the snap. It's when he turns upfield that he has to stop and set for at least a second.
Was about to type this. It’s clear that the player in motion is not attempting to move forward and get set on the LoS.
