Sure, but why would they simply look at a mechanic, say "that's stupid" and eliminate it. What's the benefit to having the play clock be a "secret?"
I know crews that manipulate the clock and give 28, 29, 30 seconds for a DOG and I suspect that is part of this thinking. I hate that and would rather have field level clocks everyone can see. I've told my BJ -- at 25 we throw a flag. They will adjust quickly.
