One thing that he obliquely pointed out in response to a question about delay-of-game calls was that the referees have their own pace about getting the ball spotted.  The presence of so many hurry-up offenses has resulted in referees spotting the ball more quickly than they once did.  This has a negative effect on huddle offenses.  I did notice a lot of variance about how quickly the clock would start.

Correct me if I'm wrong but this shouldn't matter. At the end of each play, the play clock is reset to 40 seconds. Setting the ball shouldn't stop any team from huddling and calling a play. The pace of ball spotting should really only affect the no huddle teams.
