[quote=Mike Robertson;43020]If the offense decides to pitch or run that is all that needs to be stated, "pitch or run". A decision to do either is not made until the defense is through adjusting. After the offensive coach says "pitch or run" the defense would automatically adjust to defend whatever they saw on the field would be the best option for the defense. The offense would not determine whether it was going to be QB keeper or a pitch until the defense was finished adjusting. If the offense does not say "pitch or run" before the 20 second pass clock is up it should be an automatic QB keeper. If it was a pass the defense would not get any adjustments until after the completion.

You may have a point in starting the pass clock when the set is stopped. That would surly make the O swift in making up its' mind on what to do. The reason for the 7 seconds was so that the offense could get the full 20 second pass clock if they decided to pass instead of pitch. If the O elected to pass, then the 20sec. clock would start. I'm glad you pointed out that the O would get an additional 7 sec. We ran the plays, but did not take into account that the pass clock should start time the set is stoped. We plan on going the whole 9 at the next Open Run, clocks and everything.
