REPLY: devdog...the key to understanding this is in NF 6-5-4:
"ART. 4
The captain may choose to free kick or snap anywhere between the inbounds lines on the yard line through the spot of the catch when a fair catch is made or through the spot of interference, when a fair catch is awarded. These choices remain if a dead ball foul occurs prior to the down, or a foul or an inadvertent whistle occurs during the down and the down is replayed.
Even though the down number may not be the same (because B's penalty took A past the line the gain), the down is still considered "replayed."
