At the same time, the split end would have to step back, and the flanker would have to step up. This all has to be done prior to having all players in the set for a full second prior to the snap.
Not true, if it was true no audibles would be possible.
How is that? If multiple players are moving at the same time, they must all come to a set for one second before a player can go in motion. What does that have to do with audibles?
Yes, this is a shift. I have already stated that two players may not be in motion at the same time, meaning at the snap. I am well aware of the terminology.

After a shift or huddle all players on offensive team must come to an absolute stop for at least one second with no movement of hands, feet, head, or swaying of body.
Does not read that no more shifting or motion can happen. Only when the word 'Set' is said by the QB, there is no more of any movement allowed.
A team may shift, and shift again, and even shift, set and send a man in motion. In all of those circumstances, the players must come to a complete stop for one second prior to either the snap or sending the man in motion.
Blame the Fighting Irish, because it was their Split T shift to Single Wing that caused the rule change from unlimited motion under American rules.

The difference is slight but important, a OT can never ever become a receiver, he is a OT made to be classified as a Ineligiable Receiver, by a bad formation.
An OT can be a reciever if he reports to an official before the play, means he is not in an bad formation; thus what I posted needs no corrections and was right, unless what follows is answered yes.
Let's get this straight, a player that normally plays tackle can report to the official to be eligible to catch the ball. He does so because his number makes him ineligible.
If a player who normally plays OT reports and then lines up outside of another tackle, he is then a tight end. If he lines up in the slot, he is a slot back; if he lines up in the backfield behind the tackle box, he is a running back. In all cases, he is no longer a tackle. Tackle eligible means his number is cleared for the play.
quote:
Now, I think about it I wonder if a OLman lined up in a RB position, if he can also catch a ball? Because, I have never heard those OLmen report to an official before the play, to make him a eligiable receivers.
Yes, he must report, and he can catch the ball. Where he lines up is moot as long as he is no longer lined up as one of the five linemen.
