re: What did the referee tell Ramos?

So
A) Ramos was ultimately ready
B) This all sounds like stuff you would practice and be ready to execute with a play call. Not some new instruction the coach makes up on the fly right before the play.

Well then next time the special team coach will have them in position.

They practice running off and on the field to kick all the damn time. He was PRECISELY given the right instruction and didn’t follow it. The ref likely told him “the clock starts on his whistle” which is did.

Kelly got mad because he clear as day told Ramos to be ready by the time the ref started winding the clock. Ramos, for whatever reason, was still doing his pre-kick prep steps when the ref blew the whistle to wind the clock. I could tell from my seats that he wasn't ready and was going to miss

100% accurate. End of discussion

You telling me he couldn’t run the offense out there just like he did the kicking team and it would take them 3 seconds to spike the ball??? Look I belong Kelly whole heartedly but this take is a dumb as they come.

You are not guaranteed to stop the clock on a spike within 3 seconds. Can it be done? Yes. But it’s a risky play.

If you spike the ball, you are relying on your team to get the snap off immediately, execute the spike, and the ref stop the clock before it hits 0:00. If you line up the FG unit, you just need the team to be set and get the snap off before the clock hits 0:00.

I really don’t understand why people are so convinced we should have spiked there. It’s much riskier than simply having your FG unit lined up for the kick when the clock starts. It would be different if the clock were actually still running from the previous play but you basically had a free timeout to get set up.

He told him ur coach should’ve deferred.
