Canadian Philosophy
Play 1
Having an extra player in the huddle is not a foul in the Canadian game. A flag for Illegal Substitution is thrown at the snap of the ball in there are 13 or more players, but even if the 13th player is running off the field, but still on the field, and is sufficiently away from the play (possibly limited to within 10 yards, or so, of the sideline), I don't have a flag.
Play 2
(a) if the action of the defender falling is slight, I will let it go, as it had no impact on the play, but I will be talking to the A player. If it is not slight, it is a flag. Illegal Block, 10y from PBH if YG, 10 yards from PLS is YNG.
(b) Flag. Blocking from the Rear. Same application as (a), but 15 yards instead of 10.
