Half the distance instead of specified Foul
(NFL) Just a spectator question. I have seen many times where the offense is deep in their own territory & is called with a penalty. The penalty enforced is only half the distance instead of the yardage specified by rule. Ex-Lets say a 10 yard type (holding), and the scrimmage is on the 15. Why do they not mark the ball on the 5, but instead only penalize 1/2 the distance ?
