McCrowder, I agree with you. Team A could be winning by say 4 pts. and is intent on one final play to run out the clock. They say "were taking a knee" to the R, but then as the QB is under center the coach remembers his district uses a point system and that his team needs to win by 10 pts to make the playoffs so he signals in a play to the QB under center and he audibles and then scores on the play. It's perfecly legal to run something other than what the play is you tell the R. If they tell you that their taking a knee, then your only response should be for the lineman to protect the QB just as they would on any other play. If they come in and cheapshot the QB then they get penalized and possible DQ'd for a flagrant foul. I can't protect a QB, that's his linemans job.
