Since the "live ball penalized as dead ball fouls" are not specifically defined in the rules, please give me the list of such fouls and rules support for the list.

The reason I think the PF/FM is such is because you penalize Team B from the end of the run or succeeding spot. PF penalties like clipping (which is the other AR in 8-3) and chop blocks are not so penalized. Further, Roy, in your AR example, it says "grasps" the face mask. As you well know, the rule calls for a 5 yard penalty for "incidental grasping" and the AR doesn't make it clear that it is not an incidental grasp.

Don't misunderstand here: I'm not NOW saying I'm right. I'm NOW pointing all this out because this can be ambiguous. Is a roughing the passer a live ball penalized as a dead ball?

At any rate, whether the face mask is such a rule, I guess the overall point remains that there IS an exception.
