I haven't seen the play, so I can't comment on it.
A general rule is that in cases where safety is the issue, the close plays should be flagged. I was the referee in a HS varsity game this year in which I called roughing the passer. The hit was by the arm and it wasn't severe but it was to the helmet. Had the same force been to the shoulder, I would not have flagged it.
I never fault officials for ruling on the side of safety.
Thanks for posting your play. I love to see fans discuss rules.
