I do agree on the philosophy, but care must be taken when applying it.
Just like a QB sack a couple of yards behind the line of scrimmage. If you made the call and it were accepted, the defense would have the option of pushing them back 10 yards instead having to accept a 2 yard loss because you didn't throw the flag. Where do you draw the line?
