Kind of like when a Db draws PI to prevent a sure Td. Don’t know if it works that way on offense though.

It does in a way. Speakning from my own experience, when you play O-line you feel a great deal of responsibility for the QB and more often than not you rather take a holding penalty than letting your defender get a clear path to hit him.

While playing I did a lot of things I'm not particularly proud of just to protect the QB.
