Las Vegas Raiders Renaming - Why Did Mark Davis "jump the gun"?

Raiders Naming Violates NFL Rules

Were you surprised that the RJ finally admitted a roof delay? 

Thats called writing your local Governor. And newspaper publisher and every news outlet in NYC and LA.  Eventually the pressure got to the paper so they had to print a delay. In response, Raiders made surprise announcement renaming the Raiders the Las Vegas Raiders in violation of NFL rules.  Everyone who knows the NFLK knows you cannot publish the new cities name until the beginning then NFL's fiscal year - March 18.

Was this a response in panic? Or was this to apply pressure on Don Webb to get the stadium done on time?

Because shortly thereafter, reports that the roof raising began circulating on Twitter last week.  Lets hope they did't jump the gun on the roof raising.
