But how to do that fast enough to not interfere with the game?
I suppose if you only use it on reviews or close first down spots where there is already a stop in play?

I wish we could use technology to spot the ball.

Yes, I’ve been saying this for a long time

Wow. The chip idea sounds perfect. Hadn't thought of that.

How does a chip help if you can't tell where a knee or elbow was down?

You could sync the replay cameras and ball with the game clock.

Implant a chip in each player's knee.

Every single one is already being done for other use.

I was so mad that the ref who had us short took control even though his side was

You could see that Kalani was yelling at the ref on his side to assist

Here here! And it's a game of inches, like today!

The hard part is knowing where the ball is WHEN the play is dead

But with BenTheBoss's chip idea, it would be pretty easy.

Yeah I think when it's the diff b/t a 1st down or not maybe they buzz down. IDK.

And there's the real problem. The ball was already off by many inches before you got to the close spot.

Thing is, you’d need a lot of tech around the chip to triangulate the location

Not really that easy.

The problem is when it’s all piled up can’t often tell exactly when the knee

Until we have better tech, the ball should be placed on the nearest whole yard

Right. Once you are within the 10 you don't have to do this because the goalline

Watch, they do that a lot now. I've been watching this for years.

The visible lines that extend across the field are at 5 yard increments.

The hashmarks every yard are a good enough visual reference point

I'm not sure I'd like it. Sometimes spots are bad, others not so much.

We could if we wanted but it would change the way the ball works a bit

Be careful what you ask for. Sometimes human error works in our favor
