re: So was Lewis Neal supposed to lay down and play dead?

So I played in an Alumni Game in March and our DE lost his helmet then proceeded to belly to back suplex the QB. We ended up getting 2 15 yard penalties. So I asked the ref (being that I had never seen anyone get 30 yards of penalties before), his response was that there is normally a penalty on the other team to offset one. I said "Like a hands to the face or a facemask?"...he just said Uh and walked off... When you are standing up running there is no way for your helmet to just come off without the help of someone else committing a penalty.
