OK I'll buy that from a rules standpoint...
so let's change this to philosophy. We've all had those last minute, yet valid, FC signals right before the receiver catches the ball and possibly gets hit.
Do you give the receiver protection if he signals a split second before he catches the ball and the kicking team can't "pull up" or is the answer that we just need to be reasonable such as when ruling on roughing the passer...
On another note, assuming no FC signal is given, do you penalize K1 under 6-5-6 if he hits the receiver just after he catches the ball...the classic bang-bang play. Assume he holds onto the ball but was realistically hit while still technically in a defenseless position...
