Gene Steratore was on the radio this morning saying every long snapper has their "thing" and as long as it doesn't go too far (judgement call) the officials let it go. He said THIS guy usually gets talked too about his flexing before snapping...so the officials knew he did it all the time.
Unfortunately they didn't give the opposing team the same leeway when they KNEW he moves and could cause a quick jump. The first offsides was close. It could have been the same no flag they did all game with LA.
Them's the breaks....
I love the logic behind just grandfathering in a pump fake snap move for certain players just because it's their "thing" as if it should have ever been allowed to become their "thing" in the first place.
