There is a clip-on circle that goes on a yard-line. You maintain that marker until the chains move. They re-clip to match a yardage line when they move the down markers. See like the orange circle in the middle of this set:

Right. Like I said. They have to move that clip when they move the chains. So how long do they wait to move the clip? They move the chains, then move the clip and then move the chains back to remeasure? It doesn't happen a lot but enough times I've wondered about the mechanics of it.

I am sure this will end well

Excuse me your gun is digging into my hip

Lol

I'm not sure how what I posted is sucking DaFace off. I'm just calling out you dumb mother ****ers that don't seem to be able to comprehend what they are reading.

He’s just mad the blowjob is free.
Ignore him.

Two clips per set in the NFL. The clips have a yard marker dial on them to keep track of what yard line they are placed to the backside of. One of the guys on the gang is solely responsible for just maintaining the clips and recording the yardage for each series of downs. The 2nd clip is removed only after the 1st play of the new series is run.

Put linemen back there at qb and the tush pushers they could score from the 5.

also, what happens if it is not aligned....like the garage door opener

I can remember very specifically getting ****ed hard on spots in at least one of the Super Bowls or postseason games...maybe against the 49ers, Eagles or Bengals....can't remember which game it was but we were getting screwed all day.

This will come back to bite our opponents in the ass just like the overtime rules. If the 49ers could have won the last Super Bowl against us by going for it on 4th down on the first drive of OT, they absolutely do instead of giving Mahomes any chance to win the game with a TD.

And none of that will change with this.
