Snapping the ball when players are still trying to run to their side of the ball is not a scheme, it's cheap.

There is a 40 second play clock. You are allowed to snap the ball at any point, whether 1 second in or 39 seconds in, as long as the ball is marked ready for play. If you aren't going to get mad at a team and call it "cheap" for them to run the play clock to zero before snapping, you can't get mad at them for snapping it as fast as possible.

Neither are cheap. If your retarded arse players and coaches can't get set, that's their fault and a lack of preparation. It's not about manliness, it's about strategy.

This is as ridiculous as a spread team crying about you just lining up in 2 TE sets and running it down people's throats. "Wah, wah, they have to bully us with brute strength because they can't run as fast as we can or be as creative as we can."
