Ummm.. no it wouldn't. It would take the ball back 10 yards from the spot of the foul. The foul happened 8 yards downfield. The enforcement would leave it behind the original line to gain and repeat the down. So, still first down and 2 yards to go to achieve the original line to gain. 1st and 2.
Oh, and although I didn't type it, assume it was 1st and 10 on the play initially.

Define consistency in this case. Would it be calling everything exactly the same way every time? If so, that's impossible. Each play is different and there's contact on almost every play. Officials have to make a judgment about whether the contact is worthy of a foul, and by whom, each time and it's tough.

Again, that's an issue with the rule book. A player becoming a runner isn't defined by the number of steps he takes, but by making a move common to he game. Each official has to determine in a split second whether that happened or not. Judgment calls, by their nature, are inconsistent.

He was turning around, had not completed that turn around, and got his bell rung. What I'm getting at is that yeah, judgment calls are inconsistent, but that does not preclude officials from ******* them up, i.e. some judgment calls are incredibly obvious. Factor in your point about the crown of the helmet, and mine that Shazier launched himself, and that non-call was an abortion wrapped in a holocaust.
I can't remember it being mentioned, so I'll mention this for my late friend. RIP, ShaneFalco.
