Have you not watched any football over the years? (not trying to be sarcastic, just curious) It is well known that you can not have 2 people in motion at the same time.

I thought the same thing as you untill the pre-season game this year and now actually looking at the rules. They say nothing about not being allowed to move more than one player at the same time.Show me where it says that exactly ,that you cant move multiple people before the snap.

Actually, you can have two players "in motion" prior to the snap. You are not reading the NFL rules closely enough. Although multiple players can move prior to the snap, only one player can be in motion within 1 second of the ball being snapped. Next time you watch Peyton, you will see him make a call at the line and shift two or more players within a few seconds of the snap.

If you care enough, I'll dig up multiple vids of Peyton shifting loads of guys all around before the snap. Right now, I'm too lazy. Or, please re-read the rule you just cited.
