I do not think there is any situation where you could unless you have a fumble and they see the recovery in the end zone. But as a general rule, I would not advocate having the Umpire signal TD. Because in most situations the umpire does not have the angle to decided if the knee was down or not. I think all the umpire should do is use a crew signal that helps the wings make a decision. I just see more going wrong than going right if the umpire signals a TD.

This is hilarious because here in Canada, the U has no restrictions on what he can/should do/not do.

The U in a Cdn totally has the ability to judge forward progress.

What is it that causes this fundamental difference? Field size?
