A question came up in tonight's interpretation meeting and I wanted to get your collective opinion on it.

We all know the new rule about A players being inside the 9-yard marks after the RFP. So what do you do when a team is using a spread formation combined with a no-huddle or hurry-up offense, which could easily put a wide receiver outside of the nine yard marks?

Consider the closing moments of a game, A trailing by 5 points and using a hurry up offense. They complete a pass in the middle of the field for a 1st down. They hurry to the line and are waiting for the officials to set the chains and give the ready for play signal. If their widest receiver(s) are set outside of the nine yard marks are you going to flag them?

This is clearly not an attempt to deceive B and by requiring them to be momentarily inside the 9-yard marks the rule is forcing them to use time once the RFP is blown and the clock starts.
