re: Interesting Rule Change for 2015...

So, time running out and team driving with no time out. Over the loud speaker the dive alarm from Run silent run deep sounds Dive alarm

Play stops. Booth says defensive player touched his helmet and this is a danger sign.

This gives offense time to set up for winning field goal.

I wasn't taking a position on the issue (though the scenario you describe is not substantially different from the replay rule that is already very much in effect.) I was just explaining the logic behind it. The logic itself is sound. Most people are objecting to the (hypothetical) application of the rule, which is a fair enough concern.
