What was the flag for? From what I read all the hitting occured before the ball was dead. You can't just make the rules up as you go. Even if everyone knows the QB is taking a knee, there is no foul for the hits you described, unless it was after the play was obviously over. You never know that QB may just decide to rub it in their face and instead of kneeling down takes off and runs for a TD and you have a flag on the ground for the defense blocking the offense. Now what do you do, penalize them for a legal block. Let the play finish and then any hits that occur afterwards can then be determined if they are worthy of a flag.
