It's Chilly fault, he makes the players "jumpy"

What's with RT...used to be Cook was king of the false start, now it's Loadholt. :ohmy:

Someone want to clue me in on how a Safety gets a False Start penalty?

I had thought Harvin had two.

Shaincoe has more false starts than touchdowns this year, that's inexcusable from our 'receiving' tight end...
