We use to talk about this in Quatuum Physics
at the University of Tennessee and Texas.
My prof's use to lecture about suspension of time. It is that point in time/space where everything is halted just for a fraction of a millionth of a second. I even had to right a paper on this very subject.
For what we do in the DFW, it is the Read and React time. That 20 seconds to turn your players to make a play on the ball. That is when the training of the player comes in to play because you are under the pressure of the clock to get as many players turned and at the precise angle. That is where the training camps come in to play. For instance, on the safeties playing a nickel coverage or just basic zones, you want to know that after the catch, the safety can come up and make the play.
Or if the runningback breaks the first wave, the crowd stands up and at that moment in time, the safeties may be covering a receiver or tight end. But because they hear the roar of the crowd and see the crowd stand, they know something big has happened. That's when they react on the play. They stop. They turn. They go after the ball carrier. At that instance in time, they are suspended in time.
They then pursue the play. This is what I mean by suspended in time.
