yep i'm talking about outside the home zone, which is a one-time 10 pointer ... inside the home zone it's obviously a cumulative penalty. but if you look at some of the ramps that are out there, particularly the really large ones that take up most of the lateral room in the home zone and are "front end loaders", it would be ultra-easy to block from outside.

also, i'm unaware of whether you can be penalized the full 30 for being pushed into your opponents home zone. i don't believe you can but i'd like something definite.
