As part of my pre-season training I have been reviewing the new Mechanics and best Practices crew of 5 manual. Below are some observations and possible corrections. Let me know your thoughts
1. bean bag mechanics - p 11. number 10a. H should use a beanbag in following circumstances "In a time-sensitive situation, when the down box is tardy getting to the spot of a 1st down and the players are ready for the next play, use a beanbag to mark the spot where the down box will be placed on 1st down" The clock stops for 1st down. Why would we run the next play without chains ready?
2. p 13 number 10 " in time critical situation, when the offense is in a hurry up mode, U will need to go from sideline to sideline in order to retrieve and spot the ball" I have always thought this slowed things down when a U went outside the hashes to get the ball. If B and R are doing there job to help retrieve ball it should be faster if U stayed on the hash. Thoughts?
3. p 20 chart. Double change of possession team A snaps - chart says play clock starts at 25 - it should be 40 sec play clock
4. same chart . Touchdown - official signal is signal 5 (TD signal) and not signal 3 (stop the clock)
overall I love the new manual. I'm glad it provides more objective measures to be used to rate officials
