Is this technology not tracking the ball?

It's tracking where the ball is sitting on the field after it has been spotted as it relates to the change gang. It has nothing to do with where the refs spot the ball before the measurement takes place.
All it's doing is removing the need for the chain gang to walk onto the field to measure whether the ball is sitting past the first down marker or not.
