Did I misread the rule or does the playclock stay where it was when the snap occurred? What then happens if you're trying to run down the clock before a punt, snap it at 2 -- then the punt hits the screen? You have 2 seconds to get the snap off once the ball is reset? I don't like that part of it.

I also feel this is blown out of proportion. Jerry didn't really get his way, but the NFL realized "Oh shit, this is our fault. We'll have to pay to move this behemoth." If this becomes a consistent problem, something will have to give, but Im willing to bet these rules stay in place. I don't like the play clock one. At least add 5 seconds to the clock so that they have time to get a snap off.
