why beanbag??

Guys the reason for a beanbag is to mark the end of the run for penalty enforcement purposes, and for the momentum exceptions...backward passes are the end of a run, so yes I think they should be bagged...as far as option plays etc. technically no you don't need to bag them if they occur in the backfield, and if you read closely you don't need to bag fumbles or backward passes of any kind behind the NZ, the reason being that these are looseball plays and any penalty enforcement will be from the previous spot, so end of the run is not a factor...I still think it is a good habit to bag all fumbles but that is a personal decision I guess...
