yup and yet you cant see the ball or the LOS yet you see offsides.  I agree he moved and jumped, as to whether he actually went across the line and didnt get back before the ball moved you cant see from that angle.

when you go frame by frame he is moving backwards when the ball appears in frame behind the center.  for all we can tell the LOS might have been 6 inches outside the 20.

I remember having a conversation back in the Freeney days with the head of the NCAA rules committee about a Freeney offsides call.  He moved so fast and got to the QB he was called offsides. He left way before anyone else on the field.. Yet when you watched the side angle and slowed it down he didnt move until after the ball was hiked it just looked funny because he was so far ahead of everyone else.   The Ncaa dude looked at the freeze frames and agreed they missed the call.

We dont even have that angle to tell, 2 guys missed it so you must be right when not one camera view showed anything useful.
