Not that my Rome has much of an influence on areas outside of my province, but I tend to agree: I don't believe in turning my back away from the players. I know that I've done it if I came in a lot for the spot, as a side guy, and the I might be in a hurry-up all of a sudden. (Cdn fields are 12 yards wider - so we have more room to cover to get back.)
