For enforcement we say... accept and we give them 15 from the previous spot, or decline and take the ball where you were tackled. In this case (more than what the penalty is giving them)

What is to say that it's the 12th man that made the tackle, and that A would have had more yards on the play, had the defense only been playing with 11.

Seems like a special enforcement simliar to Roughing the passer would be appropriate for a situation like that.

I think that you have a good point here, maybe the runner would have scored a TD if they would have only had 11 players. Maybe it should be taked on the the end of the play.
