Not an R, but it seems to me that the teams can sometimes dictate the pace of the RFP. 13 seconds probably sounds reasonable (sounds like not much time, but a lot can happen in there). Sometimes even if teams don't "hurry up" they have a quick pace to their offensive game, and as a crew, you should match that. You can manage it a little bit, I guess, but our job is to facilitate.

As to this play in particular, shoot, it could happen to anybody. Sucks when the play you miss is THAT PLAY and it ends up being the one that the video goes everywhere on. Hang in there, Ed. NOBODY who's done this for any length of time hasn't been on the wrong side of something like this. Doesn't make it any easier for you to take, I'm sure, but we've got your back.
