What is the Neutral Zone? Seriously, Nowadays there is my side of the ball and your side, with nothing else in between.

When you are looking down the line and trying to get as close as possible, you can mess up. Plus, as the game wears on, DLs try to creep closer and closer hoping the refs won't call it. Plus the refs don't always get to a perfect angle. So between trying to get as much of an edge as possible and simply playing at a faster pace during hurry-up time, it is not so dumb as all that.
