Can someone explain to me what is going on with the Eagles Oline? Why is the right guard able to keep moving and touching the center and turning and looking at the qb, but as soon as he faces the front and is "set" they snap the ball?

It's the right tackle. Just has good timing with the center

The right guard alerts the center that the QB is ready for snap. Is that what you’re referring to?

He's not getting set at all, which I guess means that a false start flag can't be thrown because the team isn't set. And then he taps the center and gets set himself and the ball is immediately snapped. Seems like they are circumventing the whole point of what the false start rule is supposed to be. Big disadvantage to the defense.

I agree, he is turning around constantly right up to the snap of the ball.

He always does this. It is annoying to watch

I think as long as he is 'set' for a second before snap..?
