 |
|
| Someone at work asked me "If you hurdle over a player lying on the turf, and you accidentally step on his stomach, is that a penalty?" I told him that I've never seen that before but I assumed it would be. I know if he accidentally stepped on his head it would be. Do you know? |

| No, not even if you stepped on his helmet. |

Really? So the refs must be thinking "He shouldn't have been lying there." |

Players get stepped on all the time at the bottom of piles, working through blockers, etc. Part of the game.
It's only a penalty when you stomp someone's face... aka Haynesworth/Gurode... yup... you can't do that even if he's a Cowboy... both unsportsman like conduct or uneccesary roughness would apply in that case... with the possibility of immediate ejection.
You can't do that to a Cowboy??? how messed up is that?  |

It is if you do it on purpose, but other then that, no |
