It's just plain wrong to tell defense not to play.

I guess I see your point. Maybe I'll rethink my choice of wording to ensure both teams know to continue to play but do not hit the QB while he takes a knee. And I still say if the offense announces they will take a knee, I will penalize them for NOT taking a knee.
