You obviously misunderstood the question. Where does it say that "3 seconds" defines the term immediately? There is no such reference and that was my point. I did not say that the defense could wait until the snap. When the defense does not huddle you give them a little different expectation when they might be subbing people all over the field. But I admit that is a person philosophy, which is not necessarily supported by rule.
