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.
