Seeing if someone were out of bounds is reviewable. Yes, it would be a judgment call whether an attempt was made to hide from the other team's blockers, assuming that's the rule. But, if the rule is something along the lines of "the guy forced out can only reenter the field of play within ten yards of where he was forced out", then that would probably be reviewable.

I'm one of those guys who, for reasons unknown, loves to read rulebooks... mostly because I coach; I hate to be wrong if/when I argue with someone else. Have you ever noticed that official NFL and MLB rulebooks are never to be found on-line? For LL and Big League baseball we use the Green Book, which I get a new copy of each season. On a side note, I could almost guarantee that if I posted a 40 question quiz on baseball rules most coaches would be lucky to score over 50%. Hence knowing the rules gives one a huge advantage.
