Taking a knee - then throw a TD

[Theisey]

This advice by NASO is suspect.
Unless that QB himself told the defense he was taking a knee, I don't see a foul on this play.
If we suspect that the QB is going to take a knee, we do not tell the defense anything and we simply come in harder if on a wing, and the R/U become very vocal as the play ends. We as a crew to NOT inquire about what play is going to be run.

I much prefer the NCAA rule, if Mr QB simulates placing the knee down, we KILL the play. NF should adopt the same to that so as to remove this play from some coaches play book.
