it was absolute genius...
its what belichick does...finds loopholes, abuses them, league makes a rule change.
he really is smarter than anyone else in the room as far as football goes.
This play has been around for a long time and used at many different levels of football. The NFL does not want this type of stuff in the league so they set a limitation on it. I don't see where BB is the genius for using plays that were designed by other coaches.
It's like the hidden receiver play that gets used in high school. It's almost impossible to pull it off in the NFL due to the fact that the player's shoulders must be squared to the LOS and line up 5 yards from the sideline.
