Running plays don't last 4 seconds on average

Posted by Hunta (aka Joemetz) Jun 26 '14, 12:44

it takes about a second to hike the ball and hit the line

A player's burst is between 1.7 and 2.2 seconds per 10 yards, not counting time to drop back and hand off. - David Jun 26, 12:57 11
- so here, average 65 plays per team per game, average 5.3 yards per play. -- (link) - mafaça Jun 26, 13:14 3
  - That would be a play every 27.7 seconds, meaning that 23.7 seconds of nothing happens per 4 second play. - David Jun 26, 13:37 2
    - sounds right, plus all that freakin' time that the clock is not running while the refs adjust the ball, measure for first down, call penalties, etc. -- nm - Zorcàs Jun 26, 14:04 1
      - That wouldn't impact anything. I did calcs based on 60 minutes of action, not anything when the clock is stopped. -- nm - David Jun 26, 14:29
- screen plays can be over in one to two seconds. -- nm - Zorcàs Jun 26, 13:05
- (That should be initial 10 yards.) - David Jun 26, 13:01 5
  - in the CFL, there is unlimited backfield motion so the backs time their forward motion to just a moment after the snap. - Zorcàs Jun 26, 13:17 4
    - That is one reason I mentioned Malzahn. He is revolutionizing the game with his attack offense. - David Jun 26, 13:25
    - Every play in the CFL looks offside. -- nm - Reagen Jun 26, 13:20 2
      - without the 1 yard buffer in the NFL, I find it the other way - Zorcàs Jun 26, 13:22 1
        
        yes. I expect that if it were watched more closely, a lot more plays would get whistled dead - Reagen Jun 26, 13:24
