Alright. I think I am back on the side of starting it on the ready-for-play again. I had a lengthy post to try to prove my point and it dawned on me how I couldn't find the rules support. I have since deleted the post (only there for a minute at the most).
The action that killed the down stopped the clock only because a first down was declared. While the action that caused the down to end and cause the clock to stop are simultaneous, in reality we only have an officials timeout to move the chains. (3-5-7b) and nothing that meets the criteria for keeping the clock stopped until the snap.
Because K doesn't get to keep the new series by virtue of their foul, the clock starts on the ready-for-play.
I waffled a little but I am back on the straight and narrow now.
Thanks guys.
