Disconcerting Defensive Movements |

Refs - We had a false start call on us Saturday on an extra |
|
point kick. I didn�t see it live but watching back on film the |
|
opposing team on every extra point is lining up a yard back and |
|
jumping at our o-line. It isn�t related to our snap count as |
|
it�s silent. The kid does it over and over. Is this legal? I |
|
know in NFL/College the sudden line shifts that draw the O-line |
|
offsides is now a judgement call and can be made against the |
|
defense even if the O-line jumps. Just curious if this is legal |
|
in INFC 5th grade. |

I would have to see it, but the rule on disconcerting acts reads |
|
as follows: |
|
Rule 7-1-9: |
|
No defensive player shall use disconcerting acts or words prior |
|
to the snap in an attempt to interfere with A's signals or |
|
movements. |
|
So if the officials interpret that is what the defense is doing |
|
that could call the defense for this penalty. |

It�s only a 7 second clip but it won�t load. Says file is too |
|
large. If there is any other way to share (text message?) let me |
|
know. Just picture our kicker walking back his steps and a d end |
|
jumping forward and back at our o-line without us doing anything |
|
audibly that would be making him do it. The first time it was |
|
done we jumped and we were flagged. |
