You were just rambling.

So basically you are just incompetent and have no clue that our Center does the same exact things in two totally DIFFERENT scenarios, one when the refs were SET along with the line, meaning the whistle was blown, the other, the refs were NOT set and the setting up the play was still happening before they blew the whistle...

The more I look at both plays, the more I’m sure the movement in the 52 yarder happened BEFORE the whistle and the movement in the 47 yarder happened AFTER the whistle.

It’s clear that in the case of the latter, the 47 yarder, everybody was already set including the refs..

true.. this guy shouldnt even have a motion/setup like this at all with a rule like that...

NFL Network said it hasnt been called in over 20 years....Centers are allowed to move the ball until the refs blow whistle to start the play
If true, this is reminiscent of the Brice Butler call from the Green Bay Game. How many years had it been since that had been called on a team? Why does this ALWAYS happen to the Cowboys?

The main issue here is it caused the defender to jump, so the refs had to rule the illegal motion is what caused the off-sides. If he didn’t jump, yeah they may have key it slide..

But still this call is like a cop giving someone a dui for having one beer... and only gives the dui to the black guy driving with a cowboys bumper sticker.

How does Tony Dungy support against this call if the rule is so clear?

Again, Dungy clearly doesn’t realize one happened when the whistle was blown and the other probably not. And the defender jumped off it..

Idk.. it would make sense that the center should not be aloud to move the ball at all regardless of set or not. Also, this should be called regardless if the player defensive player jumps or not. Honestly, it sounds more like pro football if the center just lines up and snaps it off the ground as a rule. thus, if any movement of the ball in any play from the center should be pentalized according to these vague rules.

You can always blame the Refs or the Wind or whatever.

You should be able to have more than 2 Plays with 50 seconds and Timeouts.

Didnt take a shot downfield when u had a Timeout left? That is playing scared and playing scared aint winning.
