PS the tuck rule has not been revised.

I did complain about the rule, not the call. It was called correctly, but I don't think this is what they meant by this rule. Once again, I can see if someone vaults off another player to block it. As for getting hurt by someone landing on you, this is football not friggin tiddlywinks. That's why they wear equipment. Players get landed on throughout the course of the game. If a player has enough athleticism to jump high enough to block a kick and lands on a player on the way down, he should be penalized for that?
C'MON!
