I remember a long time ago (early 80's, maybe through the early 90's) that, aside from the QB moving his head and yelling the call, or there was a clearly-defined full-line reset, there was absolutely zero motion before the snap. Period. Full-stop. Otherwise it was called a false start/illegal motion prior to the snap and they lost 5 yards. Seemed very simple.

Then at some point (maybe around late 90's, early 00's), pre-snap motion started creeping in all up and down the O-line and false start calls got really muddy, confusing and arbitrary. I guess the rules had changed considerably and I wasn't paying attention. If there was once a "no motion whatsoever" rule in the early days, they should have considered going back to that, instead of stacking even more caveats and what-if's on top of an already existing set of over-complicated rules full of loopholes.

Pre-snap motion has been allowed since, at least, the 1970's. The player simply had to stop and stand still for one second before the ball was snapped.

The Cowboys used to have this thing where all the offensive linemen would stand up right in the middle of the snap count.
 
Oh, yeah. I remember that. I recall other teams picking up on that particular move as well. Didn’t know that it started with Dallas, though.
 
Saints release Nathan Peterman. How is he still around? I remember Rick Mirer bouncing around from team to team just because he's a good locker room and film room guy. What does that even matter if there's a zero percent chance you could win with him if he has to play?

I wonder if Russell Wilson regrets forcing his way out of Seattle?

I wonder how often that happens, where a player wants out of a good situation for whatever reason (money, ego, clashing with the coach or the front office) and once gone is never the same again. In football, the system can make or break some players. Happens in free agency all the time (Neil O'Donnell comes to mind), but what about "trade me" situations?

Oh, Le'Veon Bell is one.

Mr. Peterman was a Bear for the last couple seasons with very little to show for it. Last year they went with Tyson Bagent over him when Fields was out.
