then he "goes weightless" (per the wording of the rule) and lands on the back of the players legs (and then rolls off).

You trust these refs to get this correct, on a bang-bang play like that? When they can't even call blatant holding penalties? When they can't even properly spot the ball?

I most certainly do not. Now, do I think that right now they would throw the flag for it? No, I think that they'll let the league enforce via fines. But then, what's the purpose for having rules to begin with? I suppose we could ask that about damn near any penalty now, to be fair.
