REPLY: Through 2001, the illegal participation rule prohibited the use of a substitute or replaced player in a pretended substitution. Then someone dreamed up this play where it's a player who is pretending to be subbed for. In 2002...voila...they changed the rule to include players. Regardless of nine-yard marks, even a valid player is prohibited from pretending to be substituted for in order to deceive the defense.
