In the days before the old duffer couldn't be arsed to bugger about, he used to commando crawl towards a loose dog on the field, I always saw that as a precursor to an attempt to engage the other dog in a game, I had to correct that PDQ as I didn't want him to be a pain in the bum with other dogs, plus it was annoying to me when he played mother deaf, but that was just my interpretation of what he was doing.
I've seen dogs commando crawl (belly crawl) when they were trained to, and I've seen them doing it when they play. It looks substantially different from stalking or collie eye. A really intense stalking dog can look downright spooky and threatening.

This is a stalking behavior, NOT submission!
I would redirect and or correct as soon as the ears go up or eye contact is made.
The earlier in the process of behaviors you stop this the better success you'll have.
I've done herding with my older GSD and yes, it's wonderful to see when NOT used for the beginnings of a rush on another dog, play of otherwise.
Yep, with my Akita it was: stalk -> Pounce -> KILL -- All over in a minute ... Dead varmint on the Premises !!! She would have done the same to strange dogs IF left to her own Devices.

Forgive me for taking so long to correct what i originally posted. The direct eye contact part didn't click in my brain when i first posted. Obviously not submission, i look a fool for saying so. Glad everyone else quickly replied. Best of luck!
