Earlier this season we had a chop block, I signaled #41, the PA announcer sez' : "ERR...we've got offisdes against the defense
". I then added #41 to my list of supplemental signal # 38 - personal foul - that proceeds the signal for some rarely called fouls, such as :
#24 -illegal helmet contact, Targeting
#25 - horsecollar tackle
#26 - blindside block
#30 - roughing the kicker or holder
#34 - roughing the passer
#39 - clipping
#40 - blocking below the waist
#41 - chop block
#45 - face mask
#46 - tripping
I feel it adds clarity to the PA so he can add clarity to the frenzed masses
A question from a scribe after the game of "ERR....,offsides.." was : "When did offsides become a 15 yard penalty ?" prompted me to make this list.
Do any of you do simular
