new FED time out mechanic thoughts

[FC IC]

The new mechanic is ridiculous. In two games last night, I was asked in 80% of the time outs, where the ball would be put back in play. As far as leaving the ball at the spot, the mechanic says one official is supposed to be holding it. There is no provision for leaving the ball on the floor.

And while we're on silly mechanics, requiring the non-calling official to inform the coach of a disqualification is also a waste of time. For years, anybody with any common sense, knew that if the circumstances were such that a coach might be pissed about the 5th foul call, you had your partner handle the dirty work. On the run of the mill DQ's, you did it yourself and everything was fine. The NF needs to give us a little credit for being able to know when to get away from an upset coach.

Just my two cents.
