			I understand the Free block zone exemptions (I should have put that in my post).  In my mind, I have cases where I wouldn't have thrown the flag, btu now can decide if I would or not.  Example:
 A ball carrier breaks into the open field, his blocker is a little bit (couple yards BEHIND him).  A speedy DB come up from behind, if the blocker is in the way, the DB is not suppost to push/block/knock him out of the way to get to the runner?
 
 How about a DB coming up to tackle a back on a play where the lead blocker is a gaurd that pulled?  If the DB goes low, is this a block below the waist?
 
 If there was some discression as for intent (is the runner close) then I could accept that. btu the impression from my association meeting was that its very cut and dry.  In both examples above, there SHOULD be a flag flown on the defensive player.
