JR - is this true in Canada even if the foul is against the defense? If so, then they could stop the clock without using up a timeout by jumping offsides as soon as the ball is RFP. Sure, they lose 5 yards, but I can see numerous instances where a team would GLADLY give up 5 yards to stop the clock.
