That's not right. You watch the play and it's a 25 yard pass in the middle of the field. If we assume that took 12 seconds from the snap to the point where he was tackled, then 12 seconds are off the clock no matter what. But, if you call timeout BEFORE calling your next play, no additional time will run off.

So, if you did not call timeout, you would have the 12 seconds plus maybe another 14 to get the play in and run up to the line. That would be a runoff of 26 seconds before the next play. If you instead called timeout before calling your next play, the runoff would only be 12 seconds and you would have saved yourself 14 seconds.
