What is that little hitch he's doing before the snap?


There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

I saw that too. Should have been a false start.

I'm nervous drinking right now, so I may be seeing things, but I swear he's done it three times

Done it a bunch, and he is not set.

it didn’t help at all. So hitch all you want.

Letting the center know when to snap.
He was checking the defense, making line calls, then signalling the center when to snap.

They've done that for years and never get called for it. Last night, the center was jerking his head before the snap and then again WITH the snap. Typical Steeler BS that the refs ignore.

So Myles gave him a little adjustment on the top of the head.

Along with the holds that don't get called


How does a league celebrating its 100th season only recognize the 53 most recent championships?

I'm pretty sure that it is completely legal as long as the center waits a hitch for the LG to be set before he snaps it.

Teams use it in loud environments.

It's certainly legal and many teams now do it. I've seen us do it. But their LG regularly doesn't set...AND...will oftentimes do the move twice. That second re-set with a twitch looks like he's starting the play. It's a deliberate action.

The center bobbing his head demonstrably last night was also deliberate. He was simulating the snap with the same head bob he'd deploy on the actual snap.

This is where our DLine and our coaches need to have conversations with the Refs during the game, but also need to bring along footage for the pre-game meetings with the Refs and ask them to keep an eye on it.


I'll wager money now that WE get popped on it in two weeks in Heinz Field.
