I actually had an OPI call on an ineligible lineman blocking downfield. I called it OPI because the guy blocked, then stopped, and then, at a point at least 10 yards downfield, started blocking again. This was in the middle of the field and the pass went to the left side and further down the field (for a TD). Had the lineman stopped after the initial charge I probably would have just talked to him afterwards. My white hat questioned whether I should have flagged it and I can understand why he did so, but an offensive lineman 10 yards downfield, and then blocking away like it's a running play was just too blatant for me not to flag.
As it turned out the rest of his teammates gave him a good verbal butt kicking when he got back to the huddle.
