Knowing this I don’t feel as bad about it, but at the same time this seems a little ticky-tack compared to the OTs getting away with an early start on the snap that I still see every week.

Agree what Taylor for the Chiefs was doing in Week 1 was far more egregious than the false start. I get what the league is getting at with early movement, but this felt more like a defensive foul in the LAR-DET game. The movement by the OL is too subtle and ticky-tack to draw a flag.

Either Mello has eyes like a fighter pilot or the available video doesn't accurately reflect what he saw. Compared to the training video, the movement by Decker seems minimal. (or my ageing eyes can't see what's there)
It will be interesting to see if this standard is applied consistently through the Super Bowl.

Let me add that the clip I shared was preceded by being vigilant on 4th and <5, which was the case here. While these tactics could happen on any down, they are more likely to occur when there is a possibility of a snap-free first down.
Something was there, and it forced Mello to make a decision. The view we have, the action is partially obscured by the receiver's leg, I'm not convinced that it was enough for FST.
