I suppose we have just been lucky that we haven't had many close ones. They have all been obviously short or obviously a first down. Watching the NFL you will be lucky to see one measurement in all games that weekend.
You and I both know that isn't luck. It's awareness of the LTG and spotting the ball appropriately.
