Mike,
I think it is just like a QB Scramble when the D gets to adjust, then the O gets to scan the field field just as it will be with the option. I don't think 7 seconds will give a huge advantage to the O. The O must take into account the adjustments made by the Defense, therefore the advantage gained is minimal. I think you were correct in pointing out that the 7 seconds for adjustments by the Defense should not be taken before the 20 sec clock is activated, but it should start when the set stops for the option, pass, or QB keeper. I think it is up to the D to make their adjustments quickly due to the running clock, and as you pointed out...not giving xtra time for the O to pick them apart. I think David & I initially wanted to give the D 7 seconds to adjust before the pass clock was started, but you pointed out that the O should be on the clock when the set is stoped.
