I wonder whether the rule was changed to allow the stoppage before the 40 second play clock was instituted. If so, it doesn't seem to make sense any more. If you have a 40 second play clock for a 50 yard downfield pass, where the line needs to motor to get to the new line of scrimmage, I don't see why you can't have the same with a sack.
I bet it usually takes no longer than 15 seconds for the ready anyway, so the result is the same either way. Just treat it like any tackle in bounds.
