Well he DOES have a point, somewhat.

"Ineligible man downfield, 5 yard penalty...loss of down"

However, that doesn't mean that they won't try to fake you out. The NFL plays at an incredible speed so you could (as a safety) see run and then it turns into a passing play or vice versa.


I do see what he was saying...although he didn't say "when I was a safety in the NFL".
