As you correctly noted this is a loose ball play, so 10-4-7 doesn't apply. Enforcement is from the previous spot. Steps are being taken to make it more clear that 10-4-6 and 10-4-7 apply to running plays only.

Bob, is Steve working on getting this clarified before the corrections come out? Did we not think of this, or how did this slide by us when we wrote the rule?
