He knew the safety was coming downhill into him and there was only another yard or two to gain there, so he tapped the ol' square button, dove forward for the additional yardage and got back to the huddle.

I would much rather see the guys get down quickly and avoid fumbling or injuring themselves. It's not worth the risk of either scenario just to gain a few extra yards. Only time to really put your body on the line or risk a fumble would be if you are trying to reach for the first down marker on 3rd or 4th down...or trying to reach for the goal line on 3rd or 4th down.
