You realize the playclock rule changed this year right? It starts again when the wing official comes in with his hand up after the play ends. It goes to 40 seconds at that point, if the ball isn’t set at 25 seconds it should be reset, but the ball being set no longer dictates starting the play clock.

So they can start the play clock when the ball carrier is still at the bottom of the pile with 5-6 guys on top of him. That makes sense.
