    Needs to be similar to facemask and running-into-kicker type rules.
    15yds for minor interferance, spot of foul for flagrant "taking out" of a receiver (used in the most dire cases).

    quick question for you.

    say youre running down a ball carrier, he's about to score, you have next to no chance at a clean tackle, you'd absolutely facemask that guy right? Or you letting him score?

    I've seen that happen a few times (one famous Giants/Skins game on MNF - happened on a kickoff) and in black and white terms, yes the penalty is less than the sure 6pts..
    Personally I'm against breaking a guy's neck to save 6pts - but that isn't the question I think..

    Refs determining what constitutes a serious penalty hasn't seemed to be nearly as much of a problem as the black/white stuff like completions, fwd passes etc.
    I say let everything be a 15yd PI unless the defender tackles or grabs arms.
    Subject to replay..
    Not so difficult to discern.

    Interesting discussion, and all good points about possibility of receivers being mugged beyond 15 yards. One variation that could work is to make it a 15 yard penalty..UNLESS that penalty is committed in the end zone. Make PI in the EZ automatic ball spot on the 2 yard line. Resolves the end of game Hail Mary question. Similar logic to offensive holding in the end zone being automatic safety instead of yardage.
