I cannot believe that seasoned NFL commentators and one HoF quarterback simply assume he's jumping early because he moves before the line does. If you look at each one, he moves the same exact time the ball moves. Just because he's the first to move does not make him a false start penalty. If anything, they need to ask why the rest of the line is a little slow off the snap.

Now, I am not saying he isn't ever moving too soon because I don't have a video of each play, but two of those they showed of him "jumping early" were ones where he moved the exact same moment the ball started to be snapped.

It may just be that he's moving on the count .. you know .. how guys farther away from the quarterback, usually with the side of their backs to the ball have to do.

The replay of the 49ers personal foul was the best.

You could clearly hear the whistle at least a full second before the late hit, which makes it the right call.

But Buck/Aikman had already made up their minds and, well, they would've felt silly if they said, "Nevermind, I was wrong."

Because Buck is a partisan hack who shouldn't be on football duty.

Remember when DWare was so good for us at getting off the snap that refs just assumed he was offsides. Replay would show that he was just quicker than everybody else.

Troy actually said(deep in the 4th) that "it looks like the play of the game is that call on Tart". I couldn't believe my ears. He's gone off the deep end now...

Troy is great but his downfall has always been disagreeing with close Calls on Dallas simply to avoid sounding like a homer. I'm Objective it's not hard to see Troy is pressing.

I'll have to see it again...but it sure looked like he moved early a few times.

Not sure we should be piling on the commentators for pointing out what people at home were probably seeing as well.

I have no idea why fans get so worked up by this stuff.
