How is this offsides and not a delay of game?

Let’s simplify this. If the ball hasn’t snapped, it’s offsides. If the whistle hasn’t blown for delay of game, it’s offsides. We consistently see the refs give leeway in an expiring play clock, so coaching a defensive player to go is a dumb gamble in my opinion. Besides the fact that if he’s watching the clock, he’s not watching the ball and will be slow to get off the line.

Incorrect

The DE is technically not "offside" (no S) until the ball is snapped unless the officials are concerned for a player's safety, ie a free shot at the QB. Officials can blow a play dead if a defender is way across the line of scrimmage, but OL usually react to that action. This flag for offside, Roach lined up in the neutral zone, shouldn't trump delay of game on this play. It's a mistake.

This is common in the NFL and college and highschool you’re literally fucking stupid.

I believe the practice is really fucking stupid and it cost us here. Nice grammar while calling me stupid, btw.

It’s happened before and it will happen again.
