Yeah, the way they whistle everything on defenders now, I don't like it.  Hell, the coverage guy bumps into him incidentally, he's probably flagged for 15.  If you are going to allow that, then "not hearing the whistle" should be a legitimate excuse to blow up a guy who does call for a fair catch.

Same reason I never found it "saavy" when a QB running towards the sidelines turns up field.  If you want to take even borderline hits out of the game, sprinting at the sideline should count as much as giving yourself up as sliding does.
Whattaya know, didn't even take that long.
Dak Prescott tripped on his own guy, so he wasn't down.  He popped up quickly, but didn't run.  No whistle.  Lions defender tackled him...late hit was called.  But if after three seconds he had taken off, I guess that's a heads up play?
