I see what you guys are saying but that is not the case every play...at least I don't think so. Hell, someone with the film can correct me if I'm wrong, but I have seen the team at the line with plenty of time for pre-snap reads and check-outs

I have seen plenty of time on a good bit of occasions, as well....I was just making a silly remark, to all the "can't-get-the-play-in" stuff |

in terms of whether Smith should have checked off more, you may be correct. But I don't see why it's acceptable that we frequently get the playcall in late and put pressure on getting the play off on time. We can count on a couple delay of game penalties and at least one timeout used b/c we have too little time. That's not acceptable to me. Maybe smith could get the play off, but it is problematic that we are putting ourselves in a bad situation every single game.

Does it happen as much as this board and others make it out to be or is this another snowball, follow the sheep thing?
It seems as if something is mentioned as bothersome and next thing you know, it has become a plague to the program. There will always be times when a play gets in late due to personnel changes on either side...however, is it as commonplace as is insinuated or is it another thing people have stuck in their pre-determined minds?
Just asking...not saying either way.
