Is there some kind of strategy to the DL lining up a full yard off the the LOS?

Napier was asked about it during his press conference today and refused to answer it.

It sometimes helps with stunts, but that seems excessive.

He's playing 3d chess

apparently, Florida did it the whole game.

plenty
it's a read the OL first step scheme
also doesn't give the OL help in reading their responsibility on who to block

and yes, it causes OL confusion, and then a blitzing linebacker comes in at 90 miles an hour

We're they trying to guess the snap count? Maybe it helps get yourself back in line if your jump. Idk just a guess.

Pastor Mike, neither of your links explain or answer the OP's question. Additionally, one has a pay wall.
Try harder next time.

Wild guess but maybe it affords them the opportunity to flinch forward anticipating snap counts without getting caught offsides.

Has he had a problem with neutral zone infractions in the past?

nope, the DL can read better
if it's a run, the OLinemen are going to step either forward, or diagonal (down or angle block) or at a 90 degree angle (pulling)
if it's a pass, they are going to pop up in pass protection, and the yard off gives the DL a chance to read that and to gain momentum and speed to begin rushing the passer
I'm guessing they only backed off during passing downs, the proverbial 3rd and 8, etc
In other words, if you're an offensive lineman popping up and passing blocking at the snap, you would already want the cushion between the DL to be short. You don't want them getting a free yard of speed momentum on the rush.

Odd.
I would thing this would be a disadvantage if the OL is aggressive in run blocking (letting them get momentum leading into the block), but might help the DL in the pass rush. Maybe there's something I'm not thinking of regarding leverage/getting low that might help the DL by being further off the line.

But if it's a power run (straight ahead blocking), wouldn't this give an advantage to the OL? They get to build momentum into their blocks and rock the DL back on their heels... giving the RB 1-2 yards "for free".

It's 1st and 10 in the pic the OP provided.

that's why I said they probably only did this on suspected passing downs

then maybe they have tendencies of when the opposition passes on first down and 10
breakdowns are a tendency discovery process for a reason

then the tendencies might have indicated throwing on 1st and ten
who is going to run a short yardage play on 1st and 10? Nobody
and ETA, I already covered the reads the DL would make if it was a run (straight, angle, 90 degree)

look at the formation: TE right, slot left, one offset back
what would you be looking for
so if it's a run, it's probably going to be an inverted veer with angle blocks and someone pulling and kicking out
if they're smashing up the gut in one back on 1st and ten, that offensive coordinator will be fired by week five
