"Then we get the return. There was a question whether the defender stepped out of bounds with the right foot. It's very close. Looks like the foot could be out there. White shoe, white sideline. Very difficult to tell from this angle," Blandino said.

It's fascinating, because it turns out pushing down the long snapper to create a hole for someone leaping through the middle on a block is totally legal.
"We're going to watch No. 31 here. He's going to jump over the snapper. He's going to clear the line," Blandino explained. "He's not going to use his hands or arms to gain leverage, he's not going to land on players. So his action is legal.
"Then we're going to watch No. 93 here just over the right guard. He's going to get his hands up top on the snapper and push him towards the ground. That's legal. Open hand push -- if there was a grab and a pull that would be defensive holding. This is a similar concept as an offensive lineman blocking a defensive player can get on top of that defensive player and push him towards the ground, and is legal, versus grabbing and pulling him."
That's so fukking dumb what's the point of the guy jumping over not being able to make contact at all if someone else can make more contact on the snapper
It should be a all or nothing rule. Either you can touch the snapper or you can't touch the snapper.
