This is a rule just waiting to be abused and falls right in line with the intent of changing the game that has taken place in the past 30 years. The proper response to this rule is that if a player is on the field he better have his head on a swivel.
AND WHILE i'M AT IT-----------
b. A receiver attempting to catch a forward pass or in position to receive a backward pass, or one who has completed a catch and has not had time to protect himself or has not clearly become a ball carrier.
The proper response to this rule is to make sure the opposing coach or quarterback understands to stop putting receivers in danger.
i. A quarterback any time after a change of possession.
e. A player on the ground.
Combine these two and make it mandatory for a quarterback who doesn't want to get hit after a change of possession to immediately sit down.
tldr: go play basketball.
