Paying attention to anything the espin media ho's say will make you go blind.

So, …. apparently you feel so disadvantaged by someone else's offense playing by the rules, that you think the rules should be changed.
Sheesh, grow a pair.

Rules are broken all the time. Sometimes they need fixin.
Targeting for example. It was a rule, but you'll be hard pressed to find anyone that actually agreed with its execution.

Sorry. The game has evolved. Deal with it.

Good example? …. not really.
You just said I'd be hard pressed to find anyone that agreed with its execution. Very true with respect to the targeting rules. Therein lies a big difference. There's no groundswell of opposition here. What we do have here is a few coaches and the fans of their teams who are reluctant to change.
There are no rules that require theses coaches to recruit, coach, game plan or manage on game day differently. But rather than adjust to the evolution of the game, they and apparently some fans would prefer to legislate away those things that present problems.
Real coaches coach. They don't whine. They innovate, They find a way to win.

I'm on board with you. They hurry up to prevent the subbing. But then they are there standing at the line of scrimmage seeing the defense... and then they turn to the sideline to get the playcall.
(you can remove the part about taking the entire playclock. most HUNH teams don't do what UGA did with Murray at times).
If you are going to allow HUNH to prevent subbing, make sure that a playcall is made. If the team wants to audible a change, then no biggie. But at least they are in formation ready for the snap and not in formation ready to get the play in from the smiling Lee Corso playcard.

To this I say…..look how much time we're giving you to set your defense.
What's gonna be the next problem, we line up in 5 wide, patiently wait for you to substitute into a 3-3-5 with the ref standing over the ball, and then when you finally tell us you're ready... we run the ball down your throats out of that formation?
Well, that just wouldn't be fair would it. You thought we were gonna pass. Maybe that should be a penalty. "15yards, deceiving the defense."

If the cards work so well for offense, then why can't the D use a variation of cards to respond?

Funny how in a mere 3yrs - this offense went from a High School offense to one that needs rules put in place to stop it. 
I didn't think it would work in the SEC. Whiners going to whine.

It's not that big of a deal to me.
But I could see a ref taking his time in spotting the ball down when he sees the offense rush into a formation without a play having been called.
The only point of rushing to the line is to prevent substitutions.
It's not the biggest deal in the world, because a defensive player can take a knee if he's cramping. Heck... he can take a knee if he feels nauseous or winded and play would probably be stopped.

So you were comparing your team's strategy to the Taliban's? They are some pretty underhanded bastards, you know?
Yeah, the element of surprise in warfare is only used by underhanded bastards.
Guys like Napoleon, Grant, Lee, Patton, Halsey, Spruance, Yamamoto, Eisenhower, never included the element of surprise in their strategies.
As a matter of fact, I think the call went something like this: "Herr Hitler? Yes, General Eisenhower here. For your information, the day will be June 6. Wouldn't want you to be caught by surprise or anything like that, ol' chum."

So will the game clock stop for these ten seconds? Cause if not, I'd hate to be the team trying to score in the last minute with the ref intentionally wasting 10 seconds of game clock after every play.

That's all fine and dandy if you QB is making the calls too.
But having Gus, Freeze, Sumlin.. Whoever making the call against a jr linebacker , and having the whole play click to go without the ability to do anything in the scheme you need , because the offense may snap it...,
So now you're saying that Saban, Kirby, Richt, Bobo, and Pruitt should be given all the time in the world they need to make adjustments and substitutions, but Malzahn, Freeze, and Sumlin shouldn't be allowed to observer Bama and UGA's formations and adjust?
Wow.

Run the Meerkat all you want, just as long as the officials do not speed up their normal pace or hurry the ball into play.

Except when Bama has the need to speed up the pace and hurry the ball into play.
Right?
