So if I understand what everybody is telling me:
If you were to speak to the captain to give the options:
Captain we have intentional grounding against the offense. If you take the penalty we will mark 5 yards off from the spot of the foul; the offense has given the ball up on downs and it will be 1st down for you. Obviously they should take the penalty.
If you should decline the penalty you will get the ball from the spot of the foul the 10 yard line and 1st down. (I guess I do not understand why they will get the ball from the spot of the foul with this choice and not the previous spot.)
So if there is a penalty against offense on 4th Down that results in the loss of down and they do not reach the line to gain the defense gets the yardage and the ball?
In all of these cases?:
Offense Pass Interference: 15 yards from the previous spot loss of down, 1st and 10 Defense
Intentional Grounding: 5 yards from the spot of the foul loss of down, 1st and 10 Defense
Illegal Touching: 5 yards from the spot of the foul loss of down, 1st and 10 Defense
Illegal Forward Pass: 5 yards from end of the run loss of down, 1st and 10 Defense
