Philosopy of 1 second

[Green]

The one second count doesn’t have to be one second, it’s a guide. The first set of downs (for each team, when the game starts) is when the WH should made it clear, what he is going to allow, as being set for a second, so each team knows.

If a team is marginal at pausing for a second (and they didn’t gain an advantage or put their opponent to a disadvantage), say something like, to the QB (make sure you’re set.) As the game moves along, I think it’s good officiating to remind the QB if his team starts to become marginal with the one second.

With 4th and inches and the team goes on a quick count, is no doubt going to draw a flag.
