Works both ways. Player pulled down with a facemask gets penalized for being illegally tackled.

I'd like to see previous spot enforcement for both A and B fouls of this nature.

Unless he fumbles.

Just to be clear, this was a questionnaire about potential changes. These aren't in place yet.

In all seriousness, it goes back to ajmc's point. Why should A get the benefit of yardage they lost prior to the tackle? If A is 20 yards behind the LOS, why should they get a free 20 yards before the penalty is enforced?

This is the only way I would agree that an A foul behind the LOS be enforced at the PS. Why should A get an advantage, without B getting the same?
