At some point there’s a rule about “patently unfair acts” or something like that which is supposed to give the refs carte blanche to fix egregious abuses. But they almost certainly wouldn’t use it for something like an extra twenty seconds coming off the clock.

…you have to commit a penalty if you’re doing the “honor the player” thing. You commit a penalty, the other team honorably declines, you send your 11th man out, and life goes on. Ideally it’s an obvious pre-snap penalty like reaching out and tapping an opposing linesman on the shoulder. You can’t just line up with 10 men on defense and expect the other team to, what, waste a play in tribute to your player?

Delay of game would go against the offense; it’s legal to play with ten men. You want the other team to be honorably declining a penalty, not expecting them to give you something in tribute that you’ll turn down. Feels like the coach wanted to make a more dramatic point by playing a man down during an actual play, which makes this not a tribute but actually a challenge to the opposing team. rjmccall fucked around with this message at 18:49 on Dec 14, 2021 |
