Offensive linemen pointing suddenly before the snap (alien.top)

Excuse my ignorance, but what's up with this? I don't recall seeing it before last weekend. Half a second before the snap, an offensive lineman rapidly points forward.

Two questions:

  1. Is there an exception under the false start rules that makes this OK?

  2. Why are they doing it? To try to make the defense jump?

Hey all so ya I noticed this also . And I can honestly say besides the past week or so the o line movement has grow before snap . It's becoming a joke as all thses new rules take away from defensive end of the ball and mostly in the pass rush .. not sure what the NFL has in mind but it's looking like a show for only offense. I watch a lot of football and seen many games and this movement on the o line has to stop its getting a bit silly .

I think the NFL makes enough money so this open end gambling on games is hampering the game and my beliefs in the out come of games ..
