new rule change I'd like to see

Situation. Pass play. A55 is flagged for holding. A12 throws a pass that is intercepted by B21 During the run back B30 blocks in the back. B21 is then tackled at the B40 by A80 with a 15 yard facemask.

By rule B has to decline BOTH fouls on A to keep the ball. To me, if after the change of possession, if A fouls it should be enforced from the suceeding spot. If B fouls after the change then offset them but B keeps the ball at the suceeding spot. My point is that under the current rules, other that a dead ball/non player foul, A can get a "free shot" in at no penalty. Not a good thing.

In NF that is the only way B gets to keep the ball, but I don't think A will purposely be taking "free shots" anyway.

NFL ruling is nice in this situation, "the fouls offset at the spot of B's foul or the DBS, whichever is farther back, and B keeps the ball."
