Title: Obviously out of the play / defenseless player
Post by: NVFOA_Ump on September 12, 2012, 08:52:59 PM
3rd and short at the 50 yard line.  Team A is running a single wing offense with all 11 players in the box.  Team B is in a very tight defense with all 11 players within 3 yards of the LOS.

Back A-21 takes a direct snap and breaks off tackle and is immediately in the open heading for a TD when A-81 who was the opposite side TE starts looking for someone to hit.  He picks B-56 who is just getting back up at the 48 yard line after diving in an attempt to tackle A-21 who by now is crossing the 20 yard line on his way for a TD.

A-81 contacts B-56 from the blind side with a violent shoulder hit and puts him on the deck and tops that off with some verbal BS directed at B-56 who is now on the ground.  Flag is thrown at the 48 yard line as A-21 is now around the 10 yard line before finishing his run in the EZ.

What's the enforcement here?

Live ball PF, 3 and 1, spot of the foul enforcement.

Sounds like there is a UNS foul too, which should be noted, even if the penalty for that is declined (only one can be enforced as both are live ball fouls now).

Thats what I was thinking. Double whammy for the PF and UNS

UNS is a non-contact foul so this is PF.  I do agree that the rules should include a provision for counting this type of PF to count towards the two that get a player tossed.

Best regards,

This result is a consequence of last year's rule change.  We now have unsportsmanlike fouls that may not be penalized due to their live-ball nature.

The number of the player still needs to be noted in case he commits another.  If this is his second, he's ejected.

Isn't the UNS for the "verbal BS" after the play?
