that’s like a reasonable thing but with the game on the line it’s insane. I get if you can’t hear the snap count. but then don’t move till the guy next to you move and hope to god you react fast enough to block or hope your qb or someone else picks it up. killing a drive can not be the thing you do
Missing the snap by even a second and getting run over by a dtackle or edge to cause a long sack id argue might be worse than the much smaller chance of incurring a 5 yard penalty. Not to mention the unblocked rusher could easily cause a strip sack or hit the qb as they throw leading to an interception
