re: What is the purpose of the 10 Second Run off rule in the NFL?

Maybe make the rule that no subs are allowed. Or make the runoff 5 seconds or so. 10 is absurd

Without the penalty, a team could never reset within 5 seconds.

And to be honest, from the time a player is actually tackled, I doubt teams can reset and snapped a ball within 10 seconds. Maybe when they're clocking the ball in the right situation where WRs aren't 25-30 yards downfield, that's about it.
