It used to be left on longer. When Moss was with the Vikings, they used to read the defense from the booth and relay to the QB (who I think at the time was Randall Cunningham) where to go with the ball...in other words, if Moss had 1on1 and would be open deep, look for him. It was turned off closer to the snap. The rule was changed supposedly because of this and now it's turned off before the teams line up I think.
