“Disconcerting Signals” penalty

I get the idea of it, but calling penalties for the linebacker clapping is lame and can kill momentum

quote:

---

We got called because of the "move" signal that our DL uses for the shift at home. It's stupid.

---

I am frustrated because they are calling it tonight, but didnt call it when we played yall and yall did it a lot.


I just want consistency

I understand when it’s a DL inches from the ball…but calling it on a linebacker 8 to 12 yards off the ball seems a little questionable

This. How does anyone on the second level or beyond influence with a clap?

We are going the wrong way and coddling offenses more and more.

Yeah, and I know the one on LSU was a safety. Weren't both of Mizzou's on LB?

Absolute BS calls, all 3.

I’d bet a bunch of coaches whined about it cause there are a lot of whiny assed coaches in cfb

Especially when 80,000 other people are clapping.

As you should. That’s the reason UGA does it.

Is it the word move? Or is the defense not alllowed to call out to each other at all?

8 to 12 yards?

Try 3-5 yards. Also, the guys listening for the clap are sometimes three yards from the QB and just as close to the LB as to the QB.

I’m glad they are finally doing this. There will be an acclimation period, but the game will be better for this.
