Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pokerbrat2000" data-source="post: 1054027" data-attributes="member: 7261">I agree on the fact that it seems like most centers/long snappers reposition the ball by pulling it closer to them.  That said, I can't find a clear interpretation of the rules and if this changes the "neutral zone".  The Neutral Zone is defined this way:"A virtual area that runs from sideline to sideline bounded by the forward and backward points of the football after it has been made ready for play. The offense and defense line up on opposite sides of the neutral zone and cannot enter it until the ball is snapped for the next play."The logical part of my brain says that the snapper, after moving the ball, has now created a new neutral zone, since that is the only thing that defenders can look at (placement of ball) to line up.  However, if the refs and the NFL define the neutral zone as the imaginary area of the length of the football, from where they originally marked the ball (ready for play) and not where the snapper moved it to, then there is not doubt that most of the Packer defense was lined up offsides on that play.If anyone finds a clear definition, please post it.</blockquote>
