Often happens in this league when a team is up by 21 points or more so I thought nothing of it. It was also during a try so they weren't exactly wasting a down.

Seems there are two "schools of thought".

1. First school of thought: Let defense know, "IF he takes a knee, stay off the QB". Some choose to squeeze in from their normal positions.

2. Second school of thought: Don't say a word. Officiate by what happens.


I'm looking for advatages/disadvantages to each.
