Defense was never required to be set. Only not allowed across the neutral zone. Not even a penalty if they return before the snap.

So you are saying that if the defense realized that it only had 10 players.. it could not call a timeout just because the offense was "ready"? I could see it now.. if you are playing Indy and they are running the no huddle, you'd basically never be able to call a timeout unless it was right after a play..

Yes, no problem. Why do they only have ten? How many did they have the previous play?
One game this weekend. Can't remember which. One team had a lonesome end. Defense didn't notice. Coaches tried to call timeout, but were too slow. I wouldn't allow the timeout if I wrote the rules.
