What difference would that have made? Once the player's forward progress is stopped and the pile is being pushed backwards, the ball is dead. It makes no difference whether it pops out or not.

In a pile like that, when I know the runner had the ball when he was piled on, I'm killing it, especially when I start seeing them ripping at the ball.
