Umpire Position Tweaks

The play clock starts at the end of the play. The offense then has 40 seconds to run the next play. It is not from when the ball is spotted nor when the ref is in position. None of these things will cause a team to get a delay of game since it takes way less than 40 seconds to do.

It only affects how fast an offense can snap the ball.

And that is where the teams are having an issue. IT really becomes a game changer because now it will allow the Defense to get in position if the offense is in a hurry up and trying to confuse the D or catch them out of position. I know it is just a couple of seconds but it maybe just enough for the D to get in a substitution.
