This is the same penalty (or not, read edit below), essentially, Colvin was called for last night (which was unintentional in his case - he just misread the snap count and flinched -- Vrabel was also called for this in 2005 vs. the Bills):
EDIT: I guess I should have read the story first. Colvin and Vrabel weren't calling out signals, they just flinched forward at the LOS.

Billick: Jets 'illegally' simulated snap count
Associated Press, Updated 10 minutes ago
OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) - Ravens coach Brian Billick accused the New York Jets of using an "illegal" ploy to draw Baltimore offside during Sunday's game.
Billick said Monday that the Jets' defense shouted out signals to intentionally throw off the Baltimore offense. Billick claimed the tactic led to the three illegal procedure penalties against the Ravens.
"They did an outstanding job. I credit the New York Jets. Their defensive line and linebackers did a very, very effective job of illegally simulating the snap count," Billick said. "They did it the whole game long. It needs to be caught."
Tackle Adam Terry bolted offside in the first and third quarters. Tight end Quinn Sypniewski jumped in the first quarter.
"That's not an excuse by any stretch of the imagination. But it is illegal," Billick said. "Our guys have to deal with it. I don't know how to help my linemen with that because, you're in the heat of battle and you're calling the snap count, and the guy across from you is also calling a snap count - which is illegal."
