Basic formation and questions

You know K Lo.....I have some corners who I can leave on an island like that all day....it just depends on the opponent. So, what looks like a slam dunk isn't always a slam dunk. One on one match-ups aren't always bad.......risky, of course, but sometimes you take a risk in one place to give yourself advantage elsewhere....do you remember what happened on the right side of that #1 offensive set during the action? Did the running back also shake free?

I have corners who do that as well..... but it says more about the WR than the CB...

Our league uses a "pass play timer" that runs the board for 3 seconds. THAT'S IT... your WR/TE/RB better be open or your play is dead.

On the backside of the play, I did not follow it to the end because I was watching the TD play.

How can a trailing team possibly run a Hail Mary on the last play if need be with ONLY 3-seconds of board time? Let's say from their own 20. All the Defense has to do is rush 3 and play 8 Deep!?! Offense has ZERO chance to drive thru his defender and weave thru that minefield! Not to mention the OL gets no credit for being able to hold their blocks longer.

I'm not ripping your rules, I just wanted to delve into the thinking behind that one, Lo!

I have a question about the 3 seconds also.
Can you shut the board off before the 3 seconds expire ?

yes you can stop the board whenever you want, but it will not stay on more than 3 seconds on a pass play.

thanks for the comment, Jimbo....no ripping, thanks.

Since we play FOB (front of the base) tackle, I don't think that (hail mary) was considered in the rules.....
