If a runner goes OOB and is then tackled by a HC, but the rule interpretation says it is no longer a HC tackle because he is OOB or in the EZ, then why should we apply a PF if we didn't call it a PF in years past? If the runner was not slammed down or roughed unnecessarily, then I wasn't calling it a PF in years past. I think the interpretation that says it is not a HC is not continuing to protect the runner, which is the intent of the rule.
