Quote:The application of this rule is disturbing, as you can have a scenario where like in this game, you have time to line up and snap the ball, but not enough time to get "set" for a full second.

 

In effect if there is a moving clock and a second is left, then even though you have time to line up and get the snap off, you effectively have less than that second if the OL has to be set for at least one second.

 

The NFL is essentially saying it takes a minimum of 1.1 seconds for a 1 second snap.  For a team trying to make a last second play, a sixty minute game becomes a 59:59.9 second game.

 

I don't see how they can definitively make that determination when NFL clocks do not measure tenths of seconds.
Your logic is impeccable.

I've seen many games with a rush to a last-second snap.

I've seen time expire before the ball is snapped.

I have never once heard that this strict and specific interpretation of being still for one second applies.

It's malarkey.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
