I am only going by the interpretation given since all this happened, but apparently any player can just give himself up and it doesn't distinguish between sliding, falling to the ground, kneeling on the ground...whatever. As long as he goes down and no longer tries to advance it. This is all new to me, too, so my interpretation could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the sliding thing was made in an effort to protect the QB...to keep people from hitting him when he goes down. I imagine that with the rule in question that there would be no penalty if a guy gave himself up by falling to the ground and then a defender came along and made sure he stayed down. Just guessing, though. |
