I think if they originally say decline, you want to make sure they fully understand that we have a LOD so by declining it, the only thing they are gaining by declining it is NOT moving team A back 5 additional yards. Usually they really do not understand how that all works, and I think we need to make sure they fully understand their options before letting them decline a LOD foul.
The only time I have ever seen a team not want to accept a yardage penalty, which is a no brainer is if the team has a FS or DOG on a very short FG and they are at a wide angle and do not want to back them up and give them a better angle.
