That makes perfect sense, but has it always been that way? I seem to remember it beings that the clock would run regardless of the penalty.Yes unless the coach of the offended team does not want it to.
I think I got you and it makes sense... If the penalty is accepted this year the clock starts on the snap, in the past the clock would start on the ready?I edited my answer trying to be a little clearer. That is actually new this year. In the pass it was why did the clock stop? That would dictate when it starts. If the runner went OOB or incomplete pass it would start on the snap as that is what led to the clock stopping
Only if the previous play dictated that it would run on the ready (EX...I have the ball and am trailing while the defense has committed a 15 yard PF facemask and the play ends inbounds. If the line to gain was met we would wind on the ready in the past after the chains were set. Now I can choose to wind on the snap if we are inside of 2 minutes of either half.)I think I got you and it makes sense... If the penalty is accepted this year the clock starts on the snap, in the past the clock would start on the ready?
That's why I added "can choose" to my example...you sir are correct.Not necessarily , The coach could want it to run. If he is winning he probably does. Outside of 2 minutes it is normal. Always is decided by clock status before the penalty.
Yes, that's the change, the offended team had a choice for it to start on the snap and took it.Offensive team is leading by 3 under 2 mins left, running out clock. Offensive team is called for a hold but the ball carrier was tackled in bounds. The refs stop the clock of course to call penalty and it starts on the snap not on the ready. This is now legal this year and wasn’t in previous years?
Yeah makes sense, that rule is in fact new though?Yes, the offended team had a choice for it to start on the snap and took it.
Yes, this year it was an addition to rule 3-4-7.Yeah makes sense, that rule is in fact new though?
Ha Ha, no just eager to be a part of the discussion with my knowledge as well (Although I am in very distinguished officiating company here).McZebra, you must type faster then me LOL
No worries, it was new this year and I'm sure was a challenge for more than a few.Awesome so I’m not crazy lol, thanks guys for the response, sorry I wasn’t more clear initially.
