That block in the back eliminated a very good return. It was one of those totally unnecessary ones where the blocker saw the numbers and still couldn't help himself. As a fan these penalties drive me nuts as the same thing happened in the first Stamps vs Eskimos meeting that took a TD off the board. I don't understand why players don't realize that they are better off letting the guy go as he may not even make a tackle. Pushing him from behind essentially nullifies any return and takes it back 10 yards.
