It sounds like the rule does it's job... that coaches know that an additional 15 yards can be tacked on and tell their secondaries "just don't grab him and tackle him."

By the same manner, I've never arrived on a field that's been marked using lime, but it's still in the rulesbook.

Of course, this fall I ran full-speed into the back of an assistant coach who was standing on the sideline while I trailed a play, so the rules don't always get well communicated and we get yellow on the field... sometimes the flag literally drops itself.
