You continue to use words like "exploit" and "problem". I don't see why it's a problem. It's certainly not an unfair advantage, as no additional luxury has been provided to the offense that wasn't already in existence and there is no additional time allocated to the offense to do whatever they intend to do, they just intend to do it faster.
And yeah, if the defense cannot substitute fast enough they aren't going to be able to substitute. It isn't impossible to substitute when a team is snapping the ball quickly. There have actually been some cool videos demonstrating this posted on this board.
Allegedly, this is a rules question because of player safety.

quote:are you trying to argue that the change to the 40 second play clock did not change the snap dynamics and substitution dynamics that existed prior to the rule change in favor of an offense an offense that plays in a particualr style? are you saying that the nfl did not handle these (apparently imaginary) changes with ref instructions? because if so you are just completely and willfully wrong. i wish people would just admit when they have a bias. the rule ended up changing things it wasnt intended to, just because you happen to like the changes because you feel it benefits your team doesn't mean they didnt happen

quote:it certainly was couched in those terms, presumably to get it through in a non rules change year, but everyone knew that was just a pretext. there may well end up being a player safety issue to it, but the kind of statistics you would need to prove it is not currently recorded.
