Blandino, I think, is using the same "sense" that MLB uses for the sliding into second rules:

1) The center moved the ball forward and this is what they all do and they let that slide.

2) Therefore the defender appears to be over where the ball is, but that is NOT the line of scrimmage (its back at the 33-1/2) so he is NOT offsides.

I have two problems with it: We don't see where the ball is set before the snap and the center would have had to move the ball almost 1-1/2 feet based on where the line of scrimmage was supposed to be.

Either way its moot as Deano has covered for the officials and other than a second chance (that the Browns would probably have screwed up anyway) that player didn't affect the play.
