Lineman #59 receives a legal handoff, runs 5 yards past the LOS, returns back behind the LOS, and throws a pass. Illegal man downfield?

In both cases I'm going to flag for ineligible downfield. The restrictions for A continue throughout the down until the last pass is thrown. The theory is that A knows the play and should know the rules.
