You can always upload it to YouTube and then post the link here if that works.

The community has been bringing up the ability to challenge plays and have that area of the game improved as of lately. We've been making sure those voices have been getting into the team's ears, but as far as I'm aware the rulings are actually correct and it's a "cinematic" type of sequence for more immersion. The animation of the player's positioning is where it's thrown off but on the back-end the ruling was correct, if that makes sense. 

What you're describing with the player's inability to get closer to the line of scrimmage is working as intended. It will force them back a little bit so they're in their correct zone. This is for gameplay purposes and to help avoid exploits.
