Incomplete illegal fwd pass.
If B accepts: 5 yds from spot of foul and LOD, 4th & 5 from the A-40
If B declines: The ball is put in play at the spot of the illegal pass (they would never decline this)
Expanding on the situation, let's say this is a penalty that does not include LOD.....so accepting would leave 3rd & 5....and declining would leave 4th & inches or 1st & 10.
Could B request measurement before deciding if they will Accept or Decline the penalty? If the result of the play would leave a 4th & inches situation, B might want to decline the penalty and if it would result in a 1st & 10 they would obviously accept to make it 3rd & 5.
Is it supported by rule that B may request measurement before deciding on penalty options?
