We were just talking about these at our meeting tonight. I agree with TXMike's analysis. Only thing I would add as a "read" on who might crackback: if a wide player is in motion toward the ball before the snap, he is a likely candidate to crackback. As already mentioned, however, its only a foul if the block is below the waist, a block in the back, or a clip.
