  1. There are a few things going on in the play. First, the TE went in motion from the backfield to the line of scrimmage pretty quickly after the initial shift of players. There needed to be a second stop before he went into motion, otherwise it is considered part of the shift. Second, right as the TE was finishing moving forward, the wide receiver went in motion. Third, the wide receiver never comes to a complete stop and may have been moving slightly forward at the snap (very slightly). If the line wasn't set for a full second before the TE went into motion, the motion is considered part of the shift and then there needs to be a full second before the WR goes into motion otherwise that is also part of the shift and again the WR would need to be set a full second before the ball is snaped. Illegal shift. Even if the line was set for a full second (it wasn't), the WR and the TE are very close to moving at the same time, which would constitute a second shift and again require the wide receiver to stop for a full second before the ball is snapped. Illegal shift. And, if the WR were moving forward at the snap, everything else could be fine and it would still be an illegal shift. The call was pretty ticky tacky because everything was right on the line of potentially being legal. Here is a rule summary with video from the NFL addressing the same situation: https://operations.nfl.com/the-rules/nfl-video-rulebook/illegal-shift/
  2. We need to fix our blocking when teams slant against our outside zone. We have to be able to punish that. Anything else is just a band aid on a schematic problem.
  3. Yeah, for the most part it isn't that bad (Majors gets run the fuck over though). No one on the line is expecting the ball to still be in the backfield that long after the ball is snapped.
  4. I mean he is physically slow. Processing time has nothing to do with it. He isn't getting up field there. He isn't physically fast enough.
  5. You're also forgetting that Quinn is slow. He is 5 yards deep in the endzone with a surprise ball in his hands. He has had no chance to do anything there but go down.
  6. The TE moved forward from the backfield to the line of scrimmage after everyone was lined up. That's motion.
  7. Freeman is easy to like as a coach.
  8. Well, we also knocked them out by getting rid of Beck and their punter.
  9. Nice trickery. Suck it Kirby.
  10. No. He has to be set before another player moves, otherwise it is a shift and then all players have to stopped for a full second before the snap.
  11. It was right at the beginning of the play. The TE next to the right tackle basically moved back and then forward, but wasn't set long enough before the receiver started moving.
  12. Clemson is a lot more talented than any of those teams. They had the highest upside of those teams.
  13. Making the reads real easy for Stockton. He has too much throwing talent to do that.
  14. Damn Stockton has a cannon.
  15. Moore at least makes plays too.
  16. Bert... See what you're supposed to do?
