Tackles after the line to gain or out of bounds stop the clock anyway...penalty or no penalty.


Again, the rule specifically mentions tackled in bounds short of line to gain. Literally nothing of what you just said is applicable.


Literally everything I said is applicable. The rule specifically talks about stopping the clock on a tackle in bounds short of the line to gain. Penalties on any other play don't stop the clock because it's already stopped.

1. I'm not sure how you think responding to something talking about being tackled in bounds short of line to gain with a statement about being tackled out of bounds or after line to gain is even remotely applicable.

2. Yes, exactly. The clock is stopped when it otherwise would not have been, because of the penalty. The offense is benefitting from committing a penalty. Why is that?
