I agree - no UTD.

I disagree that you should be "smart" about your RFP, seemingly delaying more than usual to benefit the offense. You should do things EXACTLY the way you did them for every other play that half. If that means waiting as long as possible on every play, then sure - wait as long as possible here too. If that means ensuring the umpire and chains are ready, and blowing it ready - then do that here too. It's very important to maintain the same timing on these plays as you would on any other play, or else you are giving an unearned advantage to the offense.
