It would have taken at least 5 seconds to get off the field, so unless he did the count immediately after getting in position he would have had little chance. It's hard to do a count that early as the guys on the line aren't set, you wind up double counting when guys move but it should have been done that early. Even then he has to get there before Mtl gets set and notices a guy sprinting to the bench. That's an automatic snap situation, you're taught to get the ball off ASAP in that situation so the whole play is going to be accelerated.

So ya, thanks for pointing out the obvious. If he noticed an extra guy 20 seconds before the snap he could have made it. Thanks for that brilliant contribution. Problem is I was talking about reality, where he obviously didn't pick it up until late if at all.

Yikes.
