A modest proposal to solve the late-subbing issue:

momowagon

1:30pm

So if they sub with 35 left on the play clock they still hold it until 5?

I say give the defense 12 seconds. Have the ref stopping it count it out with a

Yeah. Defense gets the opportunity to sub. Maybe the times would change if it's

momowagon

1:34pm

They just need to limit the defense to 10 seconds to sub.

Zinger

Then someone has to track what time the D started subs.

momowagon

1:35pm

Doesn't seem too difficult. As soon as the Ref gets behind the Center to hold

Zinger

Too complicated. The current setup works for literally every team except one.

Too complicated ... just stop the play clock with 5 sec to go until subs are done.

what about the game clock? and is a Time out used or will it be a free time out

Just stop it too if it's running. Probably won't happen much if the incentive to slow walk substitutions is gone.

The rule should be defense subs at their own risk. Problem solved.

No. Defense should be able to match up late subs.

rcbyufan

1:48pm

Why?

byubyu

Because the offense gets to pick when to snap the ball.

momowagon

2:06pm

If the D doesn't sub "fast enough" they could be penalized for too many men

Offense waits until 15 seconds left, then sprints one package on and another off

reddead

I would make the offense start sub prior to 25 sec on the clock. Ref holds snap

It's fixed with 3 words. No slow jog. That's it. No slow jogging.

rcbyufan

1:49pm

Both players have to be moving at the same time. No more jogging to the center

VACOUGFAN

1:52pm

Too subjective. There's gotta be a bright line rule.

momowagon

1:54pm

all subs done by 5 seconds left on play clock.
