Look, I'm sure this happens a lot of times with many other teams, but I'm just going tit for tat. Jets' d-linemen = cheaters.

Yeah, definitely illegal and definitely cheating. Unlike the defense, the offense doesn't go on the movement of the ball and usually aren't even looking at the ball. You get guys mimicking cadences and it gets confusing. Not only do you make these guys commit false starts, but it also creates a split second hesitation when the ball does actually gets snapped and creates a huge advantage. You can't do anything to try and bait the offense into a false start.
I really, really hate Mangini.
