Isn't there also a rule about offensive penalties? Like if someone jumps off sides they run some time off the clock so you can't stop the clock using a procedural penalty to take 5 years, but stop the clock?Hungary Jack wrote:It's a good idea, kind of like the 2-minute fumble rule (cannot be advanced). The refs do have the discretion of doing this if they deem the infraction "intentional", but that is far too subjective to be properly implemented. A hard and fast rule inside 2 minutes that gives the offensive team the option of taking yards or time would be the best approach---if this is an issue.
It would be interesting to see it the other way.
