... the delay of game on a critical play in OT was backbreaking.. we all saw Stafford clapping for the ball, but the center wasn't paying attention and didn't snap it.
I wouldn't be so quick to blame Shelton for that delay of game.
The Rams were using a silent count. If they weren't Stafford wouldn't be clapping, he would be yelling "hut one, hut two" - or whatever he says - rather than clapping. But on the road, in OT, in shotgun formation the Rams wouldn't expect Shelton to hear Stafford.
Dotson is supposed to see Stafford clapping for the ball and then signal Shelton to snap it. Dotson never signaled. Wish I knew why ...
