Were not giving anyone extra time, were making them wait for us to get into position, both teams are already in position and ready to snap.

I would like to see this game film of this play, I would bet a game check that they were not set on the kick. With all the confusion on the crew during the last 20 seconds there was probably a penalty out there that should have been called.
