“Why, more importantly, should we not reward the defense, and the team in general...?"

It's because we don't punish them if they fumble it out of bounds anywhere else on the field (other than out their own endzone, which is a safety and equivalent to stepping out of bounds at that same spot).

So, you'd rather it be a safety instead of a touchback? I'd love that. Touchback is just a change of possession for a massive mistake. A safety is 2 points for the defense and then a kickoff to double reward the defense.

I think if it should be a touchback (which I'd rather have at the opposite end zone than a safety, which is reserved for your own end zone), any fumble out of bounds should be the defense's ball as well. Not sure I prefer one or the other, the rules just feel somewhat inconsistent right now.

I start with the Martha White cornmeal and then add some butter, use a cast iron skillet and more seasoning. Next batch will have jalapenos and cheddar in it; which is great for chili
