“Cheat motion” is now officially cheating

[ShorePhin]

I don't know if anyone posted this yet but it definitely effects the Phins, this type of play is our bread and butter. How the officials handle it is the problem considering it is a split second thing. Our timing on this is usually perfect.

Doesn't seem good for us. Specially when we are one of the few teams who do it and do it well. Tyreek said it gave us a huge advantage, and now it is gone.

Bad link.

Anything to F over our Phins!?!?!?!?

WTF else is new?

Surprised they didn't take some of our draft picks? It's been a while, we're do.

Going to be hard to judge this one as a ref, it happens so quick.

Normally I'd make some snarky comment about conspiracy BS, but I do believe you are actually correct. BUT I think Ross finally paid off Big Lou this summer after all the player "injuries" last year and it's all about to change!

So Hurts and Allen's QB push is still legal but this isnt. Makes complete sense. Just keep watering down your product NFL, I'm sure it will work wonders for you.

I mean this was always the rule but we have been going right up to the edge of what the rule is, but not breaking it. Bellicheat has been pulling stunts like this for years. My beef is that it will take the focus of the line judges off where it actually needs to be. I mean missed offensive line holding calls are already huge problem, now you want them focused on our play timing??!!

Teams like the Eagles that are on Goodell’s good side are allowed to tamper for Barkley and Fangio and no penalty.

They also are allowed to have their dangerous tush push not be banned.

 

[jimthefin]

It should have been called last year.

This isn't the CFL!

Meh. We were good at it because of timing. I’m not convinced that hitting it a split second before the snap is going to be significantly different than hitting it exactly at the snap or a split second after.

The guys will have to get their timing down but you still have Tyreek running full out when the ball is snapped and defenders are still going to be vulnerable.

This is nothing like the CFL where you have multiple guys in full sprint running directly vertical from the backfield towards the line before the snap.

Anal Push legal, dumbass backyard football style new kickoff rules, but this is considered cheating? Lmao. They really have it in for us.

Hill would be lethal in the CFL. Don't know what a defender could do if they have Hill running full speed ahead at the snap? They might need to give him a 10-15 yard cushion.
