(Above emphasis is mine).....I am the judge of what "directly towards" is to be legal on game day...and that video is not even close....even giving some leeway of say more towards 3rd than home, he isn't even close to a legal move for me.

If you try to stretch the rule, you leave it to my interpretation of how much stretch I agree to....

I agree as to this video. i first saw this quite awhile ago and my first thought was that, while the idea is decent, the delivery here is way out of wack with what I understand the intention to be.
